Fibroid Tumor and Pregnant

First of my friend - My prayers go out to your family member and to yourself - I know you are very worried and obviously stressed out about this situation! While I am by no means an expert and have never been in this situation - I have a friend who had this condition! Unfortunately the fibroid made it impossible for her to get pregnant but she did a lot of research while she was trying! So Congratulations to your family member - It is fantastic to know she has beaten the fibroid tumour simply by managing to conceive in the first place! There are a few risks, the possibility of kidney infections and the risk of having to deliver early and/or the risk of having breech birth and also the possibility of having to deliver the baby via C-section! There is the possibility of more serious complications but this is EXTREMELY rare and we won't even go there huh? Again I am going to keep you and your family member in my heart and prayers - please let me know how things are going! Love and Hugs xxx

Oh wow thats such a shame. I use to have them too. And I finally had to have a hystrecomy. I was young when I had it only 28 years old. Thats why I dont have children. But Im okay with that now. I was upset about it years ago. I have my sweet cats who I treat like my children.LOL I dont know what they will do for this family member of yours. But I think she should be okay. I will keep her in my prayers. And please keep us informed on her.

Fibroids are actually growths in the muscle wall of the uterus, and so, thankfully there is no thought of them being a cancer, and needing chemo or radiation. If whe were not pregnant, there would be other things that they could do to stop the fibroid from growing. It feeds on estrogen, so the hormones that are there is why it is probably growing. If she has a good doctor, they will do everything they can to keep her, and the baby safe. I had fibroids, but they were discovered long after my childbearing years. What they did not know about til they went in for them was my endometriosis. It sounds like if your family member was able to conceive, that she is in good reproductive health. I will pray for her, and keep her in my thoughts as well.

I have not personally experienced this, maddysmommy, however, it is not unheard of. If she has a good OB/GYN she should receive the best advice from them. More than likely they will keep a close check on the progression of the size of the tumor for awhile. This is what they usually do. I would hate for her to have to terminate her pregnancy. I know of two cases where the mothers were diagnosed with malignant tumors after becoming pregnant. Both came through it with flying colors. So, take heart, all is not lost. I will be praying for your family member.

I have not ever experienced this...nor do I know anyone who has...but I wanted to tell you that I will add her to my prayer list... Sorry, my friend...

I will be praying for you all in my daily Novena and hope that the lord can help you all get through this difficult time.
