If you are aware that you have fibroids and are wanting to start a family, you probably have a number of concerns and would like to know about dealing with fibroids in pregnancy. Fibroids can impact upon pregnancy and can impact upon the ability to conceive.

Although most women with fibroids do go on to have normal conceptions and pregnancies, pregnancy is a worrying time as it is without the additional problem of having fibroids. Potential issues include difficulties in actually conceiving, miscarriages, discomfort and pain during pregnancy and labor complications.

Fibroids can form near to the entrance of the cervix which can block the entrance, therefore stopping the passage of sperm, thus preventing pregnancy. Fibroids which grow under the lining of the womb (submucosal fibroids) can cause distortion of the lining and can make implantation difficult-indeed this can be the cause of "unexplained miscarriages".

The nature of fibroids themselves can make dealing with fibroids in pregnancy difficult as they are unpredictable. Some grow dramatically during pregnancy whereas others may stay the same or even shrink. Larger fibroids can bring on an early labor, but rarely does it decrease term by more than 4 weeks which does not usually cause significant problems. This means that many women are faced with a "wait and see" situation which can be worrying and pregnancy is not a good time to feel stressed!

One common complication of fibroids during pregnancy is red degeneration. This is when fibroids outgrow their blood supply and begin to die off. This can cause bleeding which although alarming, is not dangerous. However, all bleeding during pregnancy must be checked out.

The best way of dealing with fibroids in pregnancy is to take steps to minimise the impact beforehand, by treating them prior to pregnancy by using natural, non invasive methods. If, however, you become pregnant before you have chance to take action, then monitor yourself carefully, reporting any problems to your doctor promptly.

Whilst pregnant, you should ensure that you eat a good healthy diet, avoiding all foods with artificial additives, choosing organic produce wherever possible. Drinking enough fluid is also important and 2 liters of filtered water daily is the best option. If your fibroids are causing discomfort, heat therapy and gentle massage can be ways of dealing with fibroids in pregnancy. In addition, pregnancy is a time to avoid stress and you should take plenty of rest and try relaxation techniques.
