somebody tell me that I can have a baby if I have a fibroid.

[GooGooGadget]

it's 8 cm and in the muscle at the top of my womb. The consultant is going to have a look with the camera there's something to look forward to but can someone tell me a cheerful story?

My grandma had fibroids and three children. All I know is that she had the fibroids removed whilst she was pregnant with the first. So, based on that, yes. I'm sure the consultant will be able to give you better advice though!

A former colleague of mine had two children despite having fibroids.

She had also had abdominal surgery on them before the pregnancies. All was fine tho she did have 2 x CS but that was not especially connected with the fibroids I don't think.

I am worried. I don't cope well with being told facts about risk by medical professionals. I want nice fluffy anecdotes to sweeten the pill :)

Well, if my grandma could do it in 1947....... Things have moved on since then, you know!
