Fibroids?

Hello,
I am 11weeks and I posted a few days ago that I was experiencing some spotting then bleeding so I ended up going to the ER before my scheduled OB appt. The ER doctor couldn't tell me for sure what caused the bleeding but only that it had stopped and baby was doing fine. I went to my OB yesterday and she said my cervix was closed and long, baby is doing great. We even saw baby wiggling around!
She did mention that I might have a small fibroid, about 2cm, which might have caused the bleeding but she couldn't be 100 sure. I'm now on pelvic rest. We will know more at the 16 week appt and I will have an anatomy scan at 18 weeks. She was not worried about the baby, or the ::fibroid:: which was a relief...if she isn't going to worry, then I won't, right?

Anyway, has anyone here had experience with fibroids in their pregnancy? Thank you!

  • I had several fibroids while pregnant with DS1. I had three, one of which was quite large (can't remember the exact size) on the top of my uterus. I also had 2 smaller ones closer to my cervix. I was monitored regularly with u/s, but they never caused any
