Delivery after a myomectomy

Hi,
did anyone had a normal vaginal delivery after a myomectomy? I had a uterine fibroid removal surgery last year February, now I’m 31 weeks pregnant (due at December 24th)! I think they will suggest me to do a C-section!

I had a scheduled c-section at 37 weeks, 4 days. They did not want me to go into labour.

It is possible to have a vaginal delivery after myomectomy but if the surgery was open, then generally it is viewed as safer to have a c section. If it was laparoscopic (keyhole) then it is a possibility but only your obstetric consultant will be able to advise you of your specific risks. It can also be dependant on where the fibroid was.
If you go for vaginal delivery then they will definitely advise a consultant led unit for labour and delivery as opposed to birth centre/home birth.
