[QUOTE=Lady Venom] Least Original User Name Ever: LOL Maybe!! _shrug_ Slypork: This fibroid, well, is huge. about the size of a grapefruit, and it’s right in front of my uterus. So, yea, it’s an angle thing. From what they said today, if this pregnancy keeps going, the fibroid will be pushed out of the way. mmouse9799: Who knows at this point!! Your guess is as good as anyones! ETA: Also, just a quick thanks…to everyone. Talking this out has helped me TREMENDOUSLY!! 🙂 [/QUOTE] However it ends, I hope it ends well. ---

I am sooooooooo happy to share some good news… WE FOUND BABY!!! 😛 He/she is hiding under my bellybutton. Munchkin is 8 weeks 3 days gestation and about an inch long. I’m due September 18th, but I’ll likely be having a scheduled c-section towards mid to late August because of the fibroid crowding my abdomen. There’s likely not much of a chance of a natural birth because the largest fibroid is almost below my uterus. I can’t tell you in words what it was like when the ultrasound tech finally said AH HA! I saw the baby…saw his/her heart beating. Ugh, I’m beside myself here!! 😃 My husband is just as amazed. ---

Awesome, wonderful news! **LV** , I had HUGE fibroids, too. Kid was transverse, would not – nay, COULD not turn. He was pinned in place by them. One kind of pressed on his head, so he came out looking like Gumby, despite the C-section. Unless there’s some correlation between C-section due to fibroids and being a smart-ass pre-teen, there were no negative sequelae. ---

Not a criticism, just a question, because I don’t know very much about fibroids. How long have you had the fibroid, and did they know about it before this? I would think that would be a major issue with trying to conceive. Is it? ---

I would think that would be a major issue with trying to conceive. Is it? [/QUOTE] I’ve had it for a while, but this one is on the outside of my uterus. The reason it was not removed is that it’s risky when removing something from the outside. It would cause scaring on my uterus, which could rupture during pregnancy, so it was left alone. I had one large one removed from the interior of the uterine wall 2 years ago, that was causing problems with conceiving and keeping a pregnancy. I appreciate the questions 🙂 ---

I would think that would be a major issue with trying to conceive. Is it? [/QUOTE] Speaking solely for myself (notwithstanding **LadyVenom’s** experience), many fibroids require surgery. Surgery, in and of itself, carries risks, therefore, doctors tend to leave the fibroids alone until and unless they start causing problems that outweigh the risks of surgery. > [@Lady Venom](#): > > One thing that I am finding right now is that I am EXHAUSTED! Wow! I told my boss today that naps should be mandatory A-freakin’-men! With my second pregnancy, one of my very first symptoms (after breast tenderness) was extreme exhaustion for seemingly no reason at all! Good news is, for most women, this passes after the first trimester (often to return during the final stretch, if for no other reason than that you’re carrying all that extra weight!) ---
