hey there
at my one year postpardum appt with my last babe, my uterus was enlarged. Doc did a vag ultrasound and said i had a fibroid, but was nothing to be concerned about. No treatment required. leave it alone.
i'm 18wks and a few days pregnant and measureing 4 weeks ahead per my midwife. Concern is that the fibroid might be growing with the pregnancy. She said at first no worries it'll just shrink after baby and i'll just look big if thats what it is. but a friend mentioned that the placement of a large fibroid could affect my ability to vbac???
having my one and only u/s at 20wks and will see then if it is a fibroid (or just one big baby. or twins. lol) but figured i'd ask and see if anyone knows anything

There have been a few women on the ICAN email list with this, you may want to post your question there. Since I know it has been answered before, and there are women there who have been in your shoes. You can go to the ICAN homepage (I think it is ican-online.org) and go to community, and there you can get on the email list. There are great women there and so much information.

Good luck,
