Pregnant with Fibroids, Pregnant after myomectomy!!

It has been a while that I have posted as I have been busy writing up my PhD dissertation, but I tried during that time to post on the issues of the uterus facebook page. The two messages that I am going to share with you in this blog was sent to me via my page a few days ago. Amazing news and it shows that if you continue to trust God, things will work out. I hold fast to the scripture that says faith without works is dead. So I encourage you to eat right, seek your doctor' advice and pray without ceasing in your quest for kids. Here are the ladies messages:

Hey Rose-Ann,

Last time we spoke was in May. In June I found out I was pregnant and was due Feb7 15. In the early weeks of pregnancy I had to go to the er as I started to bleed. They called it a threatened miscarriage. Thankfully I was discharge after a few tests were done. My pregnancy was going well until last Tuesday morning at 2am my water broke. My hubby rushed me to L&b and the nurses along with my doctors worked vigorously to try and get me to 34weeks of pregnancy. My pregnancy of course was high risk due to fibroids and everyone commented that I was blessed to even get this far along. 

Well my little fella had other plans and decided to make his entrance at 31weeks on 6Dec @916am. He weighed 3lbs13ozs. He is a miracle baby I must say and all praise and thanks to God.

He has been breathing on his own and has being doing well thus far. No oxygen has been used thus far and I truly thank God.

He has to spend some time in the Nicu. I just wanted to let you know and thank you for your prayers and please continue to prayer for my Ethan that he would keep progressing.

God is indeed the greatest of physican.

Message 2:

I've been following this post for some time now and just wanted to share my story in the hopes that it helps: 

I found out earlier this year that I had two large fibroids. At the advice of my Dr. I had an open abdominal myomectomy ( surgery to remove uterine fibroids) in March of this year 2014. My doctor told us to wait six months before getting pregnant so we started trying to get pregnant after four months and we were successful on my second cycle (August 2014) which made it five months post myomectomy. 

I am now 16 weeks pregnant and I am happy that we made the decision to have the surgery done. I believe that it was because of this surgery and the Grace of God that we were able to conceive so quick. 

Although this is my third pregnancy there is a 18 year gap with me having one son that is 18 and one that is 20 years old; so this is kind of a new pregnancy and I have forgotten a lot about what those pregnancies were like. 

To answer some questions about how this pregnancy has been thus far... there was a lot of cramping initially in the first trimester as well as irritation and pain around the incision site which my doctor said was normal. 

I have had three ultrasounds so far and one revealing one tiny fibroid that my doctor said probably came after surgery and one ovarian cyst that comes and goes that they're not overly concerned about. I will go to a perinatal Dr. which is for high-risk pregnancies to have an assessment towards the end of this month to find out if I will actually be considered high risk or not and I will find out when they will schedule my C-Section. I have a tentative due date in May because after a myomectomy it is necessary to have a cesarean due to uterine rupture. I struggled with having to have a cesarean after having two very easy vaginal births but it is definitely worth the sacrifice to receive such a blessing! So I will find out a more definitive due date from the perinatologist doctor. I am 37 years old so I have to have all of the standard genetic testing which has been good news so far. I just wanted to share my story to let people know that there is life and hope after a myomectomy. I am very spiritual and I prayed to God for total healing after my surgery and he answered our prayers. Blessings, Healing and Baby Dust to you all!!!
