What if you are pregnant with fibroid?

Answer 1

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!
