If is possible that the right side fibroids were getting better blood flow because of the way I sleep. It would be interesting to do at least a straw poll on the topic. Also I read that sleeping on your tummy is recommended for uterine shrinkage after childbirth. Does this mean we fibroid women should try it (if we can)? Not good for the neck or the spine, however For 2 months after UAE I could not lie on my left side at all. It became very painful. Got easier during the third month.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Hi Deb, I hear you here what you have describe here is what I feel also. My fibroid is huge it is over 20 cms, my uterus is a size of a 6 month pregnancy and when I lay on my back in bed I look like I am pregnant and I hate it. My fibroid is mostly to the right side to and I can feel the top of it just above my belly button. Now I am having people ask me when I am expecting too, so I know this is more noticable now than a year ago. I can't even fit into my jeans anymore before christmas I could do them up but they brother me to much, so I didn't wear them but now I can't even do them up anymore. > > > I know this probably sounds like a silly question but when I lay down I can totally feel the outline of my fibroid and its so big. My stomach sticks out as if I were 6 months pregnant. Except for a small area on my left side the fibroid covers from hip bone to almost hip bone and up to my bellie button and since it sticks out so much I can feel the top of it. Do any of you feel the same thing? I also can't do sit ups anymore. I get terrible cramps, like you get in your calves. I am deciding on what to do but am just curious if anyone else has the same thing. I had a CT done and they told me the fibroid was 12cm by 12 cm. i think it has grown since then because i couldn't feel it the way i do now. > > thanks, > deb<br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href= " http://explorer.msn.com " >http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></p> > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
