Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually fibroids can affect the pregnancy by different ways.
In your case, as fibroids are present in the myometrium and as there is no distortion of the endometrial cavity, there may not be any problem in growth of gestational sac.
But fibroids can grow in pregnancy and can lead to complications like red degeneration etc.
It may also make normal delivery difficult.
So, you have to continue the pregnancy with regular antenatal checkups and ultrasound examinations.
If any procedure is needed for fibroids, second trimester is better time to plan.

Take care.
