Pregnant with Fibroids

My fibroid grew to 8cm on my 16th week. Doc advised me to choose csec for my delivery as most probably the fibroid will block my baby from turning downwards to engage into my birth canal. Any1 experience the same but manage to go for normal delivery?

It must feel really overwhelming to get that news, especially when you were probably hoping for a natural delivery, and you are definitely not alone in feeling torn about it.

I would say keep an open conversation with your gynae at every visit, and if you want more clarity, it is worth asking for a second opinion from another specialist at KKH or a private hospital just to feel more at ease. Whatever route you end up taking, the most important thing is that both you and baby come out safe and well.
