Can Fibroids Cause Miscarriage
down syndrome risk and preventing miscarriage ?
i am 14 weeks pregnant and i ve got a big fibroid on the outside of my uterus. the baby is fine for now. my doc says the fibroid could cause misacrriage.
now as much as i hate to think of such a possibility, it would be helpful to know if certain foods or herbs such as pomegranate can prevent miscarriage..
and i ve been told to undergo a blood test that checks for down syndrome. is this test given to all carrying women or does fibroids have anything to do with down's syndrome ?
thanks for any help.
i am 28 years old and my husband is 32.
the fibroid is 10cms accross. and i wonder if it started growing after i got because i never had any difficulty before. its worrying me if its going to grow bigger.
hi...the blood test you are referring to is called a triple screen or quad screen...it is ONLY a screening to determine your risk of having a child with DS...it is not accurate and gives out false/positives 80% of the time, in my book it isn't really worth your time and money to take it. the fibroid has nothing to do with down syndrome...DS is a genetic anomaly that occurs during cell division where there is an extra 21 chromosome...commonly called trisomy 21, there is also mosaic ds and edwards syndrome. as for preventing miscarriage...there really isn't anythig you can do just take care of yourself, don't stress and enjoy your pregnancy...I hope all goes well!!!!!
