Fibroids and Pregnancy - Getting Pregnant With Fibroids

If you are contemplating starting a family and you are aware that you have fibroids, you may be anxious about the connection between uterine fibroids and pregnancy and indeed, if getting pregnant with fibroids can be an issue.Firstly, just recognizing that this could potentially be an issue is half the battle! Although they do not always cause problems, many couples struggle for years with "unexplained fertility" only to find, years down the line that fibroids were the issue and something positive could have been done at the outset.The majority of women do go on to have healthy, successful pregnancies despite their fibroids. Indeed, they rarely grow during pregnancy so providing the fibroids are neither large, or in a position which could potentially cause problems, they may not be an issue at all. It would be wise to have them checked out prior to conception and to make your gynecologist aware that you have fibroids once you have conceived. The times when getting pregnant with fibroids can be a problem is when they are situated at the entrance of the cervix or fallopian tubes as they can physically block the passage of sperm, thereby making conception impossible. Larger uterine fibroids and pregnancy do not always go hand-in-hand as if they have formed just below the lining of the womb, they can distort the uterine cavity, making implantation of the fertilized ovum almost impossible. Larger fibroids can also cause early miscarriages, which often happen before the woman even knows she is pregnant.Naturally, preparing your body for pregnancy is something most women would want to do to maximize the chances of having a healthy baby and most women are aware that they should be eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly.If you have fibroids, surgical options are not usually recommended as these are rarely the best option for a woman considering pregnancy as the scarring and weakening of the uterus can cause problems. There are simple methods of shrinking fibroids naturally and providing you have the motivation, (and what better motivation than a forthcoming pregnancy?) this can be done successfully with relative ease.
