Hi mommys I found out on june 10th Im pg with my second child. Im concern because I have a 2cm fibroid uterous I was diagnosed last year, and im scared it may affect my delivery vaginally, so im asking has any of you have gone thru this? Im really scared can someone ease my calm? Lol I would greatly appreciated.
ANYWAY I HAVE IT IN THE ANTERIOR FUNDUS!!! SO IS IT IN THE INSIDE, MY TEACHER WHO IS MEDICAL ASST. SAID I SHOULDNT WORRY, THAT IT WILL NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS.
tHANK YOU!!!
first update: i have not been to the doctor yet until the 22nd my first prenatal one. so ill ask then, ill keep u all informed. thank you!!!an
second update: I checked with the doctor and he told me that it wont affect me at all to have a vaginal birth, im hoping and praying it doesnt. i really would like to have a normal delivery. im 17 weeks and 2 days. im not too sure if its the 4th month already or still on the third. im still confused on why they go by weeks!!! lol
I think a fibroid of that size will cause you no trouble at all. I had three, but one was 21cm (yes!) and in my case this caused me to miscarry once before I had them removed. I think you will be fine!
I didn't have one personally, but a friend of mine did. Her pregnancy was pretty easy, no problems with how she was feeling, it didn't hurt the baby or any of that...but, I will say that hers did grow quite a bit during pregnancy and although it didn't affect her negatively at the time and it did shrink back down after the baby was out, it caused her some additional pain in those weeks after delivery. What did your doctor say about it affecting your vaginal delivery chances? Where is the fibroid located? I will tell you that my friend's baby was breech and her doctors think (aren't totally sure) that the fibroid contributed to that b/c of where it was located. They thought that maybe she (the baby) couldn't get into birthing position b/c it was blocking her movement. The baby was totally fine and it wasn't super crowded or anything, just made it hard to go upside down! I'm not trying to be a negative nelly or contribute to your fear, but you may want to ask your doctor how likely a scenario like this might be for you. Good luck! I'm sure everything will work out!
I carried and vaginally delivered both of my pregnancies with 2 uterine fibroids that never gave me any trouble. Your doctor will most likely tell you if they're not causing a problem -don't worry about them. With ultrasounds and prenatal care, they'll know if they're growing with the pregnancy and causing any issues. That can happen, but it's rare. Just ask at your next checkup. They shouldn't have any bearing on your having a vaginal delivery.
Congrat's to you and your family. = )
Don't worry, let your Dr. take care of you.
Remember that you and your baby are in the Lords hands.
I had fibroids when pregnant, apparently they go away for me when my uterus shrinks. They did affect my delivery. For my first pregnancy, they were so big that my baby could not turn, and she was breech. But at the end of the day after my c-section, I had a healthy baby, and that is all that matters!
I had fibroids with my pregnancy. No problems at all for pregnancy or delivery. Talk to your doctor & she/he will answer any & all questions.
Congratulations and don't worry I am sure your doctor will take excellent care of you and your baby.
This is one of those questions you need to discuss with your doctor. Do it now so that you won't have to be so afraid.
I've read that many women have healthy babies with no difficulty when they have fibroid tumors.
