Degenerating fibroid

Hi all I'm 26 weeks and currently suffering with a large fibroid that is starting to break down and die due to a lack of blood supply. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you manage with the pain?

Hi Cherelle,
I got detected with a fibroid at around 18 weeks, that was not degenerating.
I suffered with lot of pain for 4 days, later it got subsided.
These remedies helped me ; though the pain was same.
I used to stay in a same position sitting or lying which was comfortable, I took 2 tylenos every 8 hours. I also used hot (not too hot) compress or hot water bath.
Try to have a light diet yet healthy with lot of fruits, because I was not able to walk or exercise.
Praying for your good health and strength to you.
Don't worry, if it is degenerating, its for good.

Take care šŸ™‚

Thanks the degenerating of it is just causing so much pain its unbearable 😫. I'm 26wks and some days can't even walk and just scared to take the number of drugs I've been prescribed but have to take them to get through the day. Have also had a stage of not being able to gold any food down which seems to have passed. Will try the compress though x

I'm so sorry! I have dealt with them for so many years. 2 surgeries and 3 miscarriages later and still not free of them. Mine started to degenerate during my last pregnancy. Sadly, that pregnancy ended at 16 weeks, but tylenol, warm compresses and warm baths were my only hope.
I hope it starts to get better for you!!ā¤

I was hospitalised with the pain. It took about 3-4 weeks before I could ā€œmanageā€ it.. and that was after days of morphine and other opiates. When it settled, I found a comfy position and just lay like that as much as I could.

It’s so awful, I hope you feel better soon!

how did you manage the pain throughout the rest of your pregnancy and labor? I’m 26 weeks and think my larger fibroid, 14cm, is degenerating :-/

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way šŸ˜‚ arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
