Dear Ruth at the risk of exposing my all, I had a posterior fibroid for
years which caused me no trouble until it grew so big that it became
gangrenaous and erupted (thankfully) into the uterine cavity instead of the
peritoneal cavity. I can only surmise that in pregnancy if the fibroid
grows like they can do, that there is a remote posibility, very, very
remote, that this could occur. I have never had a client with the same type
of fibroid so can't be of much help there. always the remotest
possibilities that get in the way aren't there? Don't take a car on the road
today will you, you know what the traffic statistics are like. Regards,
Mary Murphy.
