So, a lady came for a scan yesterday. She’s about 37 years old. She had actually come two to three weeks earlier because she tested positive on a pregnancy test, and wanted to confirm if she was truly pregnant. On that first scan, we confirmed an early pregnancy of about 6 weeks. However, we also discovered that she had multiple fibroids, and I mean many, large fibroids. There were so many of them. Even then, I was already worried about how the pregnancy would survive with all those fibroids compressing the uterus. But there’s nothing God cannot do right? She went home and returned three weeks later because she noticed some spotting (bleeding) and wanted to check: if the baby was growing, if a heartbeat had started and if everything was okay When she first came, there was no heartbeat yet, which is normal at that stage, and the fetal pole hadn’t formed clearly. Sadly, when she came this time, the scan showed that she had miscarried. This woman cried… she cried and cried. It was heartbreaking to watch. From the scan findings, the likely cause of the miscarriage was the multiple fibroids. She had numerous fibroids more than 10!! and some of them were quite large. Honestly, from the first scan, I kept wondering how the pregnancy would cope with so much compression in the uterus. There was really nothing that could be done at that point, and it just made me feel so sad for her. This is why I keep saying it: Women are going through a lot. A whole lot. The number of women suffering from fibroids is really alarming. It’s painful, it’s emotional, and it’s unfair. Women carry so much silently. 💔
