Pregnant w/ Uterine Fibroid

by msmyself, Oct 22, 2007 10:07AM
If a person is 6 weeks pregnant and have a uterine fibroid the size of a softball can you still carry a healthy baby to full term? What is you abort and have surgery to remove the uterine fibroid.... can you still have healthy children in the future?

I myself would wait it out.  I watch Special Delivery on Discovery Health every morning before I leave out for work, and they show dozens of women with huge fibroids some the size of grape fruits have 8 & 9lb healthy babies.  They don't let them labor they will just schedule a c-section.  Keep the faith and know that every baby that's meant to be here is here!  They would normally treat you as a high risk patient and monitor you closely.  Does you OB feel there's any concern why you shouldn't try to carry the pregnancy?

Hi there.  I had a uterine fibroid when I was pregnant with my daughter.  I carried to full term but the last 6-8 weeks I had a lot of hip area and lower back pain due to the extra pressure on it.  I had no other effects than that - sorry to say it does get painful in the end, I had my daughter via c-section and they removed it immediately after I gave birth.
My doctor said to wait a for about 2 years before trying to conceive again as I needed extra time to heal and my husband and I are trying again.  Good luck!
