We got 'roids

[RHR]

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies.

My next scan is on 26/05/10 at 13:45. I really hope I don't get any pain from my fibroid as I know it'll make me paranoid. lol.

It's so nice to know that I'm not the only one in this situation and that I can talk to other people who understand. My mum doesn't really get how worrying it can be and it seems like she is quite blase about it. Maybe once I've had my next scan and know what's going to happen she may be different.

My OH has agreed with me that we're not going to worry about anything until we have too.

Yup that's a good plan. I try not to worry but I hate hate hate that the fibroid is in there...it really bothers me, but I suppose there could be much worse things going on!

Hey everyone, Just got a call from my family doctor to let me know that my fibroids have grown to 4cms since my 6 week ultrasound. Being referred to the OB now instead of at 20 weeks as originally planned. Glad to know there are others out there in my same position. I almost had a heartattack when I got the call from the doctor. Otherwise, everything looks great. Measuring on time and also 152BPM heart rate.

I am 14 weeks tomorrow

deedowd - good luck! I hope there arent that many and I hope they stay on the smaller size for you - I got all of my pain around 20 weeks I think the hormones really kicked in then and that made it grow so fast... Keep us updated!!

 

[RHR]

Good luck Deedowd, hopefully they won't grow much more for you. I think I've been luck so far as I've not had any pain yet (fingers crossed I don't). definitely keep us updated on how things go.

Hi Eoz, lovely to see you over here.

Hi everyone! Well I've made it to 20 weeks and had my scan - I'm having a little girl and everything looks fine. My obgyn is very unconcerned about my fibroids and he said they're there, they're not impacting the baby, and we'll have to wait nearer to delivery time to see if I have to have a c-section or not. I wish I could be so cool about it.

I had a lot of pain a couple weeks ago and I think it was due to a growth spurt and it being very crowded in there with the 3 fibroids and baby. Now that things have settled down and my belly has grown I feel a lot better. But I did want to say that I started to have cramps and pinching type pains above my pubic bone which I put down to the fibroids and it turned out to be a UTI. I guess we have to make sure not to just put up with symptoms that may not be fibroids.

 

[Eoz]

Congrats on your pink bundle xxxx It is hard to relax but if they really have no concern then take a little comfort from that x

As for a uti I currently have one and an infection in the cervix.My pain is more a heavy lead feeling and im struggling to eat much xx

 

[Lane_Meyer]

Hi Eoz, thank you and you are right. I hope your infection gets better soon.

 

[Eoz]

Hi all, hi Eoz! I've made my way here too!
I was just wanted to say hello and hang around to chat to some of you ladies! Im in a different boat than you as i lost my first baby @ 16 weeks back in Oct.! Im 29 and have 3 fibroids: 2 very small and 1 that was about 3-4cm at the time of the lost, they grew out of nowhere as I had 3 previous scans and no one said anything until the 4th scan I was 13 weeks (and I had just told everyone.) the one question that I never asked the Dr. was if 3-4cm was big enough to cause the lost. Do you ladies know? I had a lot of cramps from intense to very mild on and off pretty much the whole time. I cant say, nor can the Dr really that the fibroid caused it, other then its the only factor that was present. All toxicology came back negative. I didnt tell the Dr that I was under a lot of stress and fighting w my dh almost everyday. We love each other dearly as we've been together since we were 15, but I think the pregnancy made us both nervous for the future and we were like complete strangers and could not agree or get along for nothing! THIS is what I think really caused the lost ( you dont know what you got til its gone!) Sorry for the long ramble, can you tell Ive got a lot bottled in?!
Im sooo happy to see you all thriving in your pregnancies and it gives me hope! Dh and I have had time to think, talk and heal a little, we want another baby NOW!
Is this everyones 1st?
If not what route did you take on your decision to try again? ie: surgery, or just leave it up to God?
Im so happy I found this place! Best of luck to you all!
Talk to you soon!
TIA!

I forgot another important question... where are your fibroids located? Mine is in the wall and protruded inwards.

 

[Eoz]

My fibroid is inside the womb up the top pressing in on babys tummy xx (see scan)

 

[lauren10]

Hi BBaby,
I guess it's hard to say what caused your loss...maybe the placenta attached right where a fibroid was or something? I know lots of people have normal pregnancies with fibroids though, so maybe there were other factors there too.

My fibroid is outside the uterus. I'm actually going to take a picture of my belly when I'm laying down to show you guys...it's crazy!

My cousin had fibroids removed right before she got pregnant...and she grew more while she was pregnant, but didn't have any problems. I'd definitely explore your options!

Hello

I had a private early scan last Friday at 7wks 4days. I got to see my LO and heard the heartbeat

The sonographer had a look around and said that I have a lower uterine fibroid which we will need to monitor with more frequent scans. It is currently 3.69 x 4.31cm but she said my hormones can increase the size and due to its position it could obstruct a natural birth.

I've done the worst thing ever and googled it and now I'm terrified as said it can cause miscarriage and pre-term birth. This is my first pregnancy and I'm no spring chicken as I'll be 38 in a couple of weeks.

Eoz replied to my previous post and told me about your group. I hope you don't mind me posting on here. xx

I have my first appointment with the Midwife on 24th when I assume she'll arrange my booking appointment and scan date. I don't think I'll know anymore about this Fibroid until then.

Hey hun and welcome xxxx

 

[lauren10]

Welcome Bean!
Google can be your best friend, or worst enemy! Although those bad things happening are possible, they are definitely not the norm. It's so hard not to worry, but the majority of what I read (and from people I've talked to)...fibroids don't affect the baby. I figure if I have to have a c-section a little early, I can handle that if it's the worst thing that happens! Just make sure your care providers are keeping a close eye, and I'm sure everything will be fine, for all of us!
