Has anyone here ever suffered with PAINFUL degenerating fibroids during pregnancy?

Question

I had this problem with my first pregnancy. I found it excruciatingly painful. But from what I have read online, no-one considered it that painful. On ivillage.co.uk they said that normal painkillers were prescribed for the condition. When I had it, i had to be on pethedine and it was still painful.

Have i got a lower pain threshold than everyone else or is the condition extremely painful???

(ps i am pregnant again, i hope i dont get it again!!)

Hi Kryptonite!! Thanks for your answer -actually i also have fibroids which are not painful, but i am specifically talking about women whose fibroids begin to degenerate during pregnancy - that is when it becomes painful.

And i had them in my first pregnancy, I am no longer in pain thank goodness!! I just pray that i dont have another episode with this my 2nd pregnancy.

Answer 1

I had fibroids with my first pregnancy and also again with this pregnancy (my 2nd oNe) but I am here to say that I don't even know I have them. INfact if the dr. didn't tell me then I wouldn't ever know. They don't hurt one bit.

Sorry you are in pain.
