Re: Pregnancy after MYO ... good news .. BERI

[Guest guest]

Beri,

Your story is inspiring. How far along are you? Have you noticed a growth

or hardening of the fibroids during your pregnancy?

[Guest guest]

Hi Kristi,

Thanks for the concern. They took out 7 fibroids. The largest was about 8cm.

They were also very heavy. They were intramural (in the wall of the uterus) and

were mostly located at the back of the uterus. I had quite a lot of incisions

done to the uterus. The surgeon actually told me that because of scarring it

will be a bit difficult to conceive. She was very happy when I went to see her

to tell her the news. So, it is not all bad news. But they always reckon to

wait until you are ready to have a baby before having a myo because of regrowth

as they will grow even faster with the pregnance.

Good luck to you.

Beri.

I am glad to hear your pregnancy is going well. I

have to get an 11cm fibroid removed next week. I am

hoping that it's the ONLY one I have... they are never

sure until they go " in " . So I am hoping even if I

have more, I can still go on to get pregnant. Did

they remove any fibroids when they did the myo? Where

were your fibroids located? I am hoping I can go on

to get pregnant even if I have some scarring and other

smaller fibroids!

Thanks, Kristi TAKE CARE

Beri:

God bless you and this child. I'm glad to hear all is well. You

provide some inspiration for many of us hoping to travel down this

road. I'm seeing my 3rd specialist on Monday. I hope and pray to

schedule my myomectomy then. Good luck to you, do keep us posted.

Hi ,

I am 33 weeks and 3 days today. Yes, the fibroids have grown quite a lot in the

last 29 weeks. So much so that I am a c-section at 37 and a half weeks. One of

them grew from 64mm to about 7cm. I haven't really noticed any hardening.

Although, the midwife can't tell the difference between the fibroids and the

baby's head!!, so it must be hard.

Love

Beri.
