Abortion may be the option

I just found out I have a 7 cm fibroid and I'm 9+ 5, I'm already in pain and can't afford to be on bed rest, I really want this baby more than anything!!! But I can't go thru the pain of miscarriage and I know that's what gonna happen

Hi. I am currently TTC and a few months ago found out I had a 3 cm fibroid. I cried so much until my Dr made me understand that having a fibroid doesn't mean I can't get pregnant or I will lose my baby when I do.  Don't beat up yourself over it. My sister in law had one that was 6 pounds and she had a healthy boy and the dr took out the fibroid afterwards. I just started trying for my baby last month.  Looking forward to success this month.

I was told I have a uterine fibroid after my 2nd miscarriage....then i had another mc and got preg right away after. I am now 12 weeks n 1 day.  I was told to use "welcome womb" for a nervous uterus and it has been a huge help.   I go in today for my first ultrasound so I will find out then if I still have the fibroid.  
Also my friend is 23 weeks preg and has a few large fibroids and she is fine.  
My advice, if u want this baby so badly is to not give up. A mc is hard to go thru for sure but to know that it wasn't ur decision would be so much easier to deal with in the long run.  time has healed all 3 of my mcs.  Will keep u in my prayers.

I agree w Des. I've read where others that have had fibroids went on to have healthy babies, it just took some extra tlc during pregnancy. In the end, God's will will always be done. I know sometimes that's not very comforting to hear, but it's the truth. An abortion doesn't even give your baby a chance. I know that a miscarriage can be devastating. I had one two years ago. I couldn't understand why. I am now 32 weeks pregnant with a little girl. In the end, it's your decision and this forum is here to support you. Just consider holding on to see what the end could be.

I had a miscarriage (it'll be a year next week) and I never once spotted, it just happened.  Now I am 25 weeks and 3 days with a perfect little girl and I spotted from 6 weeks till I was about 8 weeks.  All I could do was think "another miscarriage", I even stopped myself from being attached to my baby in fear of losing her.  I have no idea what fibroid are like, but the above poster seems to be educated on them.  Just know that it's really in God's hands and spotting doesn't mean miscarriage and apparently neither does Fibroid.  If you get an abortion.. you will never know what "could have been".  It's up to you, but I just know if it were me and I did that I would regret it and I would always wonder "would my baby be here right now?"  Good luck dear!

Speaking from experience, please don't think that way. I had a fibroid with my now 3 year old daughter and I am now 31&4 weeks and I have yet another fibroid. Fibroids don't mean that you will for sure have a miscarriage.
