Fibroid Pain During Pregnancy

BeanBagsMommy

Hello moms and moms to be :-)

Wondering if any of you all have or are currently experiencing any abdominal pain due to fibroids? I hope you aren't because it is AWFUL! 

I had been diagnosed with fibroids years ago and was told that they would more than likely never affect me, even if I became pregnant. Just last Saturday at the 19 week mark, I was bedridden and rolling in pain! A trip to the hospital diagnosed me with a degenerating fibroid and sent me home with anti-inflammatory meds. Days later, I had to go back to the hospital and was kept for two days with regular morphine injections to ease the pain. 

I'm home now and starting to feel a little bit of pain. Not as bad as before, but enough to be uncomfortable and scared. Any advice on easing the pain drug-free or when this pain will end (if ever)?

Hi,

I usually only lurk, but I couldn't not respond to your post.

In my first pregnancy, I had several bouts of fibroid degeneration.  It is not fun.  For me, they were usually just under a week in length.  Not much made it better - I hope you find something that works for you.

Fibroids can mess with things in pregnancy, even though they almost always don't.  Make sure you report any changes/weird symptoms to your Dr.  Fibroids are thought to possibly cause preterm labour (which did occur in my case, mid 2nd tri).

I hope the pain goes away soon.
