About a week ago I went to the emergency room (the day my period came) because of really bad cramps and dizziness...after a pelvic exam, a sonogram, a ct scan and an internal sonogram, the doctor said I had uterine fibroids. He said that it was nothing to worry about becuase they are really tiny. My question is has anyone else been through this before? I am really afraid because I have read that if or when you get pregnant they will grow bigger causing you to look huge and may cause complications with the baby. My husband and I were planning on starting a family...Please help! Thanks all! I had huge uterine fibroids during my pregnancy. I'm 28 years old. Yes you are right, they grow even bigger during pregnancy.
I had huge fibroids even before I got pregnant. I had same problems like you in my periods ( Dizziness due to anemia, crams). I got pregnant and I gave birth of a premature baby. I had heavy blood pressure so my water broke 3 months before my due date. The baby had to stay 54 days in incubator. She was tiny cause the fibroids didn't let her grow well. The baby was surrounded by all the fibroids. Finally doctors removed my uterus as the fibroids were very large.
If you have tiny fibroids then you may get pregnant but you have to be in close observation of your doc. You have to keep an eye on your blood pressure and you cannot do any hard work
best of luck! my mom had these. good news is she had 5 kids with no problems.
bad news is that she had a couple really bad miscarriages due to the fibroids and after her 5th child she had to have a hysterectomy because of it.
i don't want you to worry, but i wanted to tell you both sides of her story.
good luck and i hope these are not a problem for you! |
