OVERVIEW
Early in pregnancy, healthcare providers often find preexisting conditions that may raise concerns for the next nine months. While diabetes and high blood pressure are common, 1% to 10% of expectant mothers discover they have uterine fibroids during prenatal ultrasounds. Though many are already aware of these noncancerous growths, they can cause anxiety for some patients.
Fibroids are common, affecting 40% to 60% of women by age 35. Most patients with fibroids experience normal pregnancies, but depending on their size and location, monitoring may be necessary for potential issues.
Uterine fibroids Definition
Uterine fibroids are growths in your uterus. The Office on Women’s Health estimates that between 20% and 80% of women may have fibroids by the time they’re 50. Fibroids are also called:
- benign tumors
- uterine leiomyomas
- myomas
While 99% of fibroids aren’t cancerous or life-threatening, they can occasionally cause health issues.
Fibroids vary in size from as small as a seed to larger than a grapefruit. They are often undiagnosed, as only about a third are large enough to be found in a physical exam. You may have one fibroid or several growths.
Symptoms of fibroids
Most people don’t know they have fibroids because signs and symptoms vary depending on the size, location, and number of fibroids. Some people experience no symptoms, while others may have:
- periods that last longer than a week
- heavy menstrual bleeding
- spotting or bleeding between periods
- pelvic pressure or pain
- backache or leg pain
- frequent urination
- difficulty emptying your bladder
- constipation
- difficulty getting pregnant
Fetal risks related to fibroids
In general, risk to the growing baby is low. If you have large or multiple fibroids, we’ll watch closely for a few potential concerns:
Abnormal placenta:
Fibroids have been associated with placenta previa (implantation of the placenta over the cervix) and placental abruption (premature separation of the placenta from the uterus). Your doctor can use ultrasound to check the placenta during pregnancy.
Fibroid growth:
Research suggests that approximately two thirds of fibroids will grow or shrink during pregnancy. If growth occurs, it’s typically during the first trimester. Your Ob/Gyn may check the size of your fibroids via ultrasound to monitor changes and evaluate the growth of your baby. To date, research has not shown an absolute correlation between fibroids and fetal growth restriction.
Breech position:
If your fibroids limit space in the uterus, your baby may be breech – bottom down instead of head down. Using ultrasound and a physical exam, we monitor the baby’s position as you get closer to your due date. If your baby is not head down your doctor might recommend cesarean section (C-section) delivery.
Preterm delivery:
Significant fibroid burden may stress the uterus, leading to preterm contractions or premature rupture of membranes (when your water breaks before 37 weeks) and subsequent delivery. It is important to contact your Ob/Gyn if you think you may be in labor or leaking fluid.
It is rare for a fibroid removal procedure to be recommended during pregnancy, but there are many options to consider for shrinking or removing fibroids after the delivery.

Risks for pregnant women with fibroids
Understanding the position and size of fibroids can help prepare for labor and delivery complications, such as incomplete cervical dilation, poor contracting, and postpartum hemorrhage.
Bulky fibroids can block the birth canal, making it difficult to achieve cervical dilation during labor. Postpartum hemorrhage is a medical emergency and should be reported to a doctor. Vaginal delivery is often preferred to avoid C-section risks..

Our patients sometimes ask what they can do to get rid of fibroids during pregnancy. Unfortunately, not much. It is rare for a fibroid removal procedure to be recommended during pregnancy – disturbing the uterine environment during can present risks for the mother and baby.
However, there are many options to consider for shrinking or removing fibroids after the delivery.
Diet and lifestyle strategies of Myomas And Pregnancy Natural Treatment
Weight loss
A clinical study in China showed that obesity and excess weight increase the risk for uterine fibroids. This happens because fat cells make high amounts of estrogen. Losing weight may help prevent or reduce the size of fibroids.
Nutrition
Your daily diet is a very important factor in treating fibroids. Eating a nutritious diet can help you maintain a moderate weight and reduce your risk. Certain foods can also help ease symptoms.
Foods to avoid
According to clinical studies, eating excess refined carbohydrates and foods with added sugar may trigger or worsen fibroids. These foods raise blood sugar levels, which may cause your body to produce too much insulin hormone. Limit simple refined carbohydrates like:
- white rice, pasta, and flour
- soda and other sugary drinks
- corn syrup
- boxed cereals
- baked goods like cakes, cookies, and doughnuts
- chips
- crackers
Additionally, it may be helpful to limit foods with added salt, particularly processed and packaged foods. While sodium is an essential mineral for health, the recommended amount for adults is less than 2,300 milligrams (about a teaspoon of salt) per day to help balance high blood pressure.
Foods to eat
Fiber-rich unprocessed and whole foods help:
- increase satiety
- balance hormones
- prevent excess weight gain
Fruits and vegetables also help reduce inflammation and lower your risk for fibroids. Add these whole foods to your daily diet:
- raw and cooked vegetables and fruit
- dried fruit
- whole grains
- brown rice
- lentils and beans
- whole grain bread and pasta
- quinoa
- fresh and dried herbs
Milk and dairy may help to reduce fibroids. Dairy products contain high amounts of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients may help prevent the growth of fibroids.
Vitamins and supplements
Some types of vitamins may help reduce the growth and size of fibroids. Research confirms that your risk for fibroids may increase if you have low amounts of vitamin D and vitamin A from animal sources, such as dairy.
Uterine fibroids may worsen menstrual pain, bloating, and cramping. A number of vitamins may help ease these symptoms:
- vitamin B1
- vitamin B6
- vitamin D
- vitamin E
- magnesium
- omega-3 fatty acids
You can find these vitamins in food as well as supplements. If you want to start incorporating supplements into your daily routine, talk with your doctor before you begin.
Other remedies
At-home care may help to manage stress, which can worsen fibroids and your overall health. Try these treatment options that can help manage stress:
- warm compresses or applying local heat
- warm baths
- yoga and exercise
- massage therapy
Fibroid treatment after pregnancy
For nonpregnant patients, fibroid treatment procedures are generally safe and effective. We recommend that patients wait at least six months after delivery to consider a fibroid removal procedure.
We make this recommendation for two reasons. First, the uterus will shrink during the postpartum period. Once the body recovers, you can assess how much the fibroids affect your daily life.
Second, fibroid removal surgery requires some downtime for recovery. New moms are already healing from delivery and trying to establish a routine at home. Having a non-emergency procedure on top of that can lead to unnecessary stress.
