Does pregnancy cause fibroids to grow?
Pregnancy has an unpredictable effect on fibroids. Most fibroids do not increase in size during pregnancy. A study of pregnant women with fibroids found that 70% of them did not have an increase in the size of fibroids during pregnancy, and 30% of women with increased fibroids were found to be present before the third month. Fibroids often shrink after birth.
