Fibroids in pregnancy is very common. 1 in 3 pregnant women have fibroids. Most fibroids are small and not located in any problematic ares in the uterus. Most will not cause pregnancy complications. The commonest complications include degeneration that causes pain. At times they may cause premature labour or a threatened miscarriage. The larger or more numerous the fibroids is the more likely it is to cause complications. Submucosal fibroids are located in or push into the cavity of the womb. These types of fibroids are most likely to cause complications such as miscarriage as they directly compete with the pregnancy for more space as they grow and as the fetus grows.
If the fibroids have to be removed surgically it is best to do so 6 weeks or more after the pregnancy as the they do shrink after pregnancy and surgical removal may be unnecessary.

Also avoid kitty litter, let the doctor know what medications you are on pre pregnancy to ensure that they are safe to continue or can be switched to a safer option . Get any pre existing medical conditions under control.
