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.
Huzzah! Dont worry. C-section babies are totally fine. I was a C-baby!
Yay for Doper Babies!!
I had all of mine C-section, they were all fine, and so was I!
Congratulations! And my very strongest wishes that the most difficult/stressful part of your pregnancy is behind you.
Wow, that’s totally amazing. Glad that your baby is doing so well (seeing the heartbeat is a really good sign of course 
) and hope that the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly!
That’s so fantastic! I was hoping there would be a good happy ending, but it seemed so unlikey further up the thread.
YAY!
Congratulations! I’m so excited for you!
Yay!!!
Absolutely amazing. I’m so very happy for you.
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.
You’re not supposed to give additional worried to pregnant mothers!
Anyway, that’s great!
Thanks guys
This is a huge relief. We’re so happy right now. Hopefully the rest of the pregnancy goes well.
Cheers for your ‘sticky’ baby!! I’m so happy for you.
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?
Man what a rollar coaster ride reading this thread! Can’t even imagine how you felt living it! I just want to congradulate you, and wish you a much less exciting rest of your pregnancy!
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 love rollercoasters, but this one I could have lived without!! hehe
Thanks for the congrats and wishes of a less exicting pregnancy.
One thing that I am finding right now is that I am EXHAUSTED! Wow! I told my boss today that naps should be mandatory
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.
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!)
Fantastic news !! MANY congrats and wishes for a very booooring pregnancy from here out.
You will, of course, be naming the baby Cecil, right?
