Fibroids, pregnancy, and (pre-term) labour

Hi, Just looking for other people's experiences of pregnancy and labour with fibroids. I'm 37+2 so not pre-term anymore but I'm just on maternity leave today and am beginning to get excited about the baby finally arriving!

I have a few fibroids, some of which are quite big (they keep changing size but 2 or 3 are 8-10cmish). At my 36 week scan to assess a fibroid blocking my cervix I got the good news that it seems to have moved out the way so I'm hoping to get the go-ahead for natural birth.

So...just wondering if anyone else has been allowed to give birth naturally with big fibroids, whether it ended in an EMCS, and when labour started. I gather it can start early so I'm trying to gather some numbers and predict whether I have weeks of cooking ahead of me or if it's likely to start any day! I can't decide which I'd prefer, I'm looking forward to LO arriving and finding out the gender, but I'm also keen to enjoy the last few hours/days/weeks with just me and DP before everything gets turned upside down.
