Fibroids on Uterus

An

Andra
Anyone have experience with fibroids in their uterus? I was having severe pain on my right side. Went to the ER thinking it was my appendix. The U.S. Showed a fibroid on the right side of my uterus. Dr said they are common over 50% of women have them but don't know until they become pregnant and the fibroids grow and cause pain. I am nervous they are going to keep causing  pain and issues the next few months. The pain even gave me contractions. Anyone else deal with this?

I have fibroids, which have caused me to be high risk. I go to the dr every week for progesterone shots to prevent preterm labor, and every two weeks to get an ultrasound to look at my baby girl and get my cervix measured. I am already on maternity leave because I was in a lot of pain. I work on my feet as a hair and makeup artist. I am 22 weeks...

I had the same problem. I went into preterm labor. I'm not sure if the fibroid caused it or not though. Just keep having your doctor check your cervix to make sure it's closed. I caught it early at 21 weeks and had to have a cerclage and it held until I was 25 weeks.
