Hi ladies,

I'd forgotten about this thread! Sorry!

DD was born in March 2009, ala natural!!! No gas, no epidural. She got past the fibroids I still vividly remember the relief when after my last scan and examination, when my ob said "your baby has dropped past the fibroid".

The last few days before she was born, I had this thing sticking out of me, you can see it in my belly photos, and I assumed it was an elbow or a knee, but was told later it was the biggest fibroid. As the pregnancy went on, they got bigger and bigger, and I got more and more stressed, but somehow DD managed it and I managed a natural birth.

The only problem I'm facing now is for subsequent pregnancies. I need to have the fibroids removed now that they've shrunk, before I think about having another baby. I miscarried my first at 9 weeks, and the belief is that bub attached to a fibroid and not me. The risk is there that this will continue to happen and that DD was a lucky one. Wish I had of known this before my pregnancy with her because I would have had them removed before I fell pregnant and not gone through the added angst.

Sorry for my very late update on this, and thanks for asking me about it.

Corelly
