Much of the time, fibroids don't need to be treated during pregnancy. If you are having pain or discomfort, your doctor may encourage you to rest.
During pregnancy, fibroids can increase in size. Most of this growth is due to blood flowing to the uterus. In addition to the extra stress and effort put on the body by pregnancy, the growth of fibroids may cause discomfort, feelings of pressure, or pain. Fibroids can increase the risk of the following:
miscarriage (the pregnancy terminates before 20 weeks), premature birth or
breech birth (rear end first, rather than head down)
In Rare cases, a large fibroid could block the opening of the uterus or keep the baby from passing into the birth canal. In this case, the baby would be delivered by c section. But usually, even a large fibroid will move out of the Baby's way as the uterus gets bigger / expands during pregnancy. Also, women with these fibroids may lose more blood after delivery.
Also, I just read that non-genetically-modified soy in amounts of (80 mg of isoflavones per day) can be helpful. This is because Soy helps block estrogen's stimulation of the uterine tissue. It's also an excellent protein source without the growth hormones in ordinary meat products.
Please do not be alarmed.. the world is full of well educated doctors that know just what to do for your and your baby's best interest! enjoy being pregnant!!
hope I helped!
Yes
Most doctor do not think a myomectomy is necessary with a small fibroid on the outside of the uterus, and 3 cm is considered small. However, occasionally removal of a small fibroid that is in the inside lining of the uterus may help you get pregnant.

Unlikely. Common symptoms of fibroids are irregular, heavy, painful menstrual cycles. Most pregnant women do not have these symptoms.
If the fibroid is perfectly rectangular, then the area of one of its surfaces is 50.76 cm. That is large for a uterine fibroid.
No
A hard uterus means an enlarged uterus. An enlarged uterus can be a symptom of pregnancy or fibroid tumors. If you think you are pregnant or have a hard uterus consult a physician.

Having fibroid tumors means one will often involve heavy menstrual periods and prolonged bleeding. One should immediately see a doctor if they have fibroid tumor.
No, a tampon can't be mistaken for a calcified fibroid. A tampon would be in the vagina - it can't make its way to the uterus. It doesn't have the same texture/appearance on ultrasound as a calcified fibroid, either.
