Does Pregnancy Make Fibroids Grow?

Pregnancy is both exciting and worrying at the same time, and you need to prepare your body to be in the best possible condition to support a growing baby. If you have fibroids, a very valid question is "Does pregnancy make fibroids grow?"

Pregnancy has a very unpredictable effect on fibroids. Some will grow, some will decrease in size and some will stay the same. There is no reliable way to predict the outcome and so there is a valid school of thought that you should do whatever you can to deal with your fibroids prior to becoming pregnant.

The effect of being pregnant on fibroids depends on a number of things-your individual genetic make up, the growth factors which may or may not be present in the body and other factors such as your diet and lifestyle. When pregnancy does make fibroids grow, this usually happens before the third month and more often than not, fibroids will shrink back to their pre-pregnancy size following delivery.

When pregnancy makes fibroids grow, a cesarean section is more likely if the fibroids are situated at the entrance of the cervix which can make delivery more problematic. Also, fibroids can sometimes cause a problem known as "red degeneration" where fibroids can grow quickly during pregnancy but the blood vessels supporting them cannot "keep up" and tissue degeneration happens, causing pain and bleeding which is naturally extremely worrying during pregnancy. Degeneration does not usually cause major problems although it is always essential to visit your doctor if any bleeding does occur for whatever reason during pregnancy.
