HI,
I understand your query & concern.
Fibroid is a tumor from uterine muscles . It tends to grow in early weeks of pregnancy when estrogen is in high amount in mother's circulation- but later on it hardly interferes with pregnancy.
* when placenta is attached near fibroid, though there is small chance of blood supply to baby, there is chance of placental separation& early induction of delivery may become essential to save life.
* I would advise you to be in contact with your gynecologist through out your pregnancy . You will need repeated scans, blood investigations to assess the pregnancy condition. strictly follow the advise given. The management would depend on placental position & other developments with advance of pregnancy.
- Should consult your doctor immediately in case of-abdominal & back pain, uterine contractions, continuous uterine contraction without relaxation, vaginal bleeding.
- Be ready to terminate pregnancy if your doctor advises so.
Thanks..
