Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Ladies - Sorry it took me MONTHS to check in. I had my baby girl on 9/12. 7 pounds 1 ounce. She is 8 weeks old now!!!

Congrats Melissa! That is wonderful. If you don't mind me asking did you have a C-section and if so, how has the recovery been compared to when you had a myomectomy. I am now 28 weeks and sort of freaking out about having a c-section and how the recovery will be. Hope everyone is doing well! Take care.

Melissak - CONGRATULATIONS on your BABY GIRL!!!!! I literally read though all your past blogs to get the whole story of your journey and what a story! 3 miscariages and now a healthy beautiful baby girl!!!! Again, what an inspiration! I am in my last month of taking birth control pills and will give it a rest next month and then ttc in january - hoping to get pregnant within six months. I pray and hope that I, too will have wonderful news to share with all like you MelissaK this time next year! All the best! Sasha

Hi Ladies my name is Lidia and im glad I found this site I got pregnant for the 1st time in may my dh and i only had to try 1 month I found out I was pregnant a day after fathers day my dh and i where trilled when I went for my first doc visit they told me I had blood so i was checked got a v____al u/s and showed everything was ok I was put on bedrest for 2 weeks then everything was fine a month later i had spotting again another v____al u/s and showed everything was fine we even saw our daughter moving around I was put on bedrest till futher notice in August again I went to the hospital this time and because I was not 20 weeks I had to be taken care for by the er department which they did and ultra sound and thats when they told me I had fibroids 5 to be excat one mesuring 7.7 I had never heard of them and the er doctor a__sured me there was no risk for my baby and tojust have my obyn check the size and if they where to grow thay will give me something to reduce pain but I never had pain just the bleeding and after that I did not bleed but I did loss my baby at 21w 4d I was told my placenta had an infection and inflamation i did ask the doctor when i gave birth to my daughter if the fibroids had something to do with it he said no they had done and u/s an hour ealier I dont now if he did not see a treat anyways I was told I might have ic but the 2 doctors have told me no so I dont know what to think I have never had any symptoms i new I had something because I went to see my family doctor for an infection in my bladder and she checked my stomach and she felt a little ball at the end of my stomach ad beginning of my private part she grabed my hand and told me to touch it it was really small but could still feel it then after that I was dignose with an std and was treated so I thought maybe that was the reason I had that ball but just went ahead and got pregnant so now I dont know what to think anymore 2 doctors said there is no problem for me to get pregnant witht he fibroids they told me unless I dont want to have any children to go ahead but theres risks I could not be able to have babies no more could it be they are in place they wont bother my baby or should I try another doctor all I was told that if it did not intefere fir me to get pregnant to leave it alone my dh and had planned to get pregnant in mid year 08 but reading your post makes me think that I should go get another opinion has anyone gone thru this sorry its so long

MelissaK... I often check the website to see if you posted news regarding your new arrival and was so excited to read about your baby girl this evening... CONGRATS!... I'm so happy for you.

Lid27-I am sorry for what you went throught. Lid I lost my baby at 23 weeks. I had no idea I have fibroid until 21 week, when I went in pre term labor. I have no spotting during my whole pregnancy. The labor just came and I had infection as well, just as you did. I have only 1 or possibly 2 fibroids. I went to see 2 Dr. and they both adviced me to have myomectomy, prior new pregnancy. I never new I have fibroids, HAD NO SYMPTOMS, got pregnant first month , our first try. I AM SO SCARED FROM SURGERY, but I don't wnat to go throuht loosing my baby again. I might not be able to get pregnant on my own after surgery but there is always IVF. I just don't want to go throught loosing my baby in second trimester again . :-)

Katarina i am also very scared I would loss another child this is very hard for its been a month and I feel like it was just yesterday and I miss her so is that one of the risk of the surgery that we would not be able to concive naturally OMG that makes it more scary is that a minor posibility or it will happend I would be devestated but how about if my fibroids are pea size will they be able to oporate anyway or they will defently say no

Lid27-Did I understand right that your fibroids are the size of pea ? They can take it out laparoscopicaly and then you shouldn't have infertility issue. Lid27 I supose to have my surgery January 24 and I'm so scared I can't even describe it. I am scared from not be able to concive on my own, that's my biggest fear. I am from Europe and my Dr. in Europe adviced me to ttc again without the surgery, but I am to scared for that too. I guess I prefer to have full term pregnancy by IVF than half way on my own .

Ladies did any of you read about the advertises in this site for pills which treat fibroids? What you think about that ?

Hi all! Yesterday I had my first ecography since the myomectomy and luckily the doctor told me that fibroids have not returned and that if I haven´t told him that I had a myomectomy he will tell me that I have a normal uterus! The size returned to the normal size, I have got no scars (inside the uterus) and what is more important no fibroids!. Hope this means that without a fibroid on the western front we can wait til December as we wanted to, to start looking for a baby. I asked if he saw that trumps connected to the uterus but he told me that that depends on the permeability of the trumps and can only be measured with a salinography or something like that that won´t be done to me unless I cannot get pregnant naturally. Congratulations Melissa! What´s the name of the baby?. Ms Monet how r u alldoing?.

Damajuana- I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. Your Dr.must of done good job. I am very very happy for you from the bottom of my heart. I will be praying for you to get prego as soon as possible. :-)

Hi everyone..MelissaK..CONGRATS! I'm so happy for you and your little girl..What is her name? You must be thrilled..please keep posting (if you get a free moment) and let us know how both of you are doing.. MSMONET! How are you girl...hang in there..I'm thinking and praying for you all the other lucky mommies to be on here..and all the hopeful..nothing new with me..not preggo's..aunt flow is in town..that was expected because we weren't able to try last cycle... LID27..I'm so sorry for your lost..we all feel your pain here. If you don't mind I would like to ask you a few questions..how old are you? I'm thinking you are my age..27-28? I understand your frustration of not knowing who to listen to regarding having this surgery..please go and get another opinion....the doctor need to do more testing to find out what type of fibroids you have..are they in the wall..outside or inside the uterus..Your fibroids might be small and that is why there were not picked up on the ultrasound...did anyone mention to you how big they were? Since you weren't having any pain except for the spotting..they may have not paid too much attention to the fibroids when they were checking you out since they were trying to find the source of a bleed..it is hard for me to even suggest what you should do..but one thing I know for sure is you should get another opinion..you need to know the size and location of your fibroids..and believe us here..your doctor telling you since the fibroids did not prevent you from getting pregnant you should be OK next time...Another thing is doctors will not tell you the fibroids caused you to miscarry or go into preterm labor..because most of the time the fibroids indirectly cause preterm labor or miscarriage by affecting the placenta's blood supply and distort and irritate your uterus...which may cause you to go into preterm labor..it seems pretty direct to me but that is how the doctors put it..so the fibroids my cause the placenta to pull away from the uterus wall...but the doctors will just you went into pre term labor because of that the fibroids may have contributed to that happening..I'm sorry if I keep saying the same thing over and over again but I just want to make sure you understand why the doctors would say the fibroids didn't cause you to go into pre term labor...the infection may have been due to something else..I've been writing so long now I forgot what I was going to say...Please post soon and let us know how you are doing or with any other questions and believe me I feel for you from the bottom of my heart I do... I lost my baby girl at 24 weeks...your days will get easier as time goes by..Take Care
