I have fibroids and I am pregnant. They tell me these fibroids are growing and may affect the pregnancy?


Modern medicine has no answers besides Surgery and since I am pregnant even that is out of the question. Is there another approach out there? Something holistic?

I had a surgery 2.5 years ago that removed 6 fibroids from my outer uterus--it was a major surgery and I had an incision similar to a c-section. I got pregnant in December last year, and unfortunately, 3 more were discovered, this time inside the uterus at an ultrasound. Sadly, I miscarried in Feb. I was due to have a different type of surgery to remove these fibroids on June 2nd, and found out 4 days before that even though my husband and I had used protection, I was pregnant again. Of course I was terrified, but so far, this little boy is doing just great. I'm 23 weeks today and the doctors are really happy with the progress so far.
As far as holistic answers, there are plenty out there, and trust me, I researched them when I found out about this second pregnancy. I can honestly say that none are proven or tested long term to be safe for pregnant women, so I wasn't willing to take any chances with them. I wasn't willing to put my baby at any further risk than he was already.
How far along are you and do you know the size of the fibroids? What is the doctor's opinion and suggestions for your pregnancy?
EDIT--and no, they cannot do surgery or a "little stitch" during pregnancy or even right after giving birth. The uterus changes too much from hormones and pregnancy, and a woman would risk hemorrhaging if the fibroids were removed right around the time of pregnancy.

Well there are but nobo knows if it works.My wife had fibroids and as much as she wanted it to be holistic,she ended up with surgery and in your case,you cant until after you have your child.aiaf you do have surgery,use ask the doctor if they can use the surgery through the belly button instead of cutting across the stomach.That was painful for my wife.

one thing safe that can help is herbs that are designed to shrink the fibroid. It is called Guizhi Fu Ling Wan鈥?Cinamon & Hoelen Combination , but i'd do research first or ask your doctor just to be safe .

I don't know about holistic but they can do a little stitch to keep baby in and may go on bed rest. My cousin had bad fibroid and 2 girls. This was what worked for her.
