Planning your new family or adding to your family can be a time of excitement and joy though naturally this can be offset by the worries you may have about ensuring you experience a good trouble free pregnancy with the happy ending of a healthy baby.
If you suffer from fibroids you may be concerned about the possible complications which they can cause during your pregnancy, you should be reassured to know that most women suffering from fibroids have a normal trouble free pregnancy.
Usually women with fibroids have no more trouble getting pregnant than those women who do not have fibroids, many women with infertility problems actually do have fibroids but the cause of the infertility has nothing to do with the fibroids except in about 2% to 3% of cases.
Fibroids which are in a position to block one or both of the fallopian tubes may prevent sperm from fertilizing the egg.
Fibroids which are present in the actual uterus may prevent the implantation of fertilized eggs.
Fibroids which are located in the uterus could increase the chance of a miscarriage or could cause premature labor.
They may also affect the position of the baby in the womb (fetal malpresentation) and prevent it from positioning to come out head first.
Women with fibroids do have a greater incidence of Caesarean section births.
If you suffer with fibroids and you're planning to start a new family or hoping to add to your family then now may be a good time to find out how you can shrink fibroid tumors without resorting to surgery or drugs.
