What is the effect of uterine fibroid on the fetus?

Syedatoobabatool , welcome to icliniq It's rare for fibroids to significantly grow during pregnancy, especially after the first trimester. In fact, many fibroids may actually shrink in size due to the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. However, it's possible for a fibroid to enlarge or change position during pregnancy, which could potentially affect the baby's position in the pelvis. In your case, since your baby's head is not yet engaged, it's unlikely that your fibroid is preventing the baby from dropping down into the pelvis. Engagement occurs when the baby's head descends into the pelvis in preparation for childbirth, which typically happens in the weeks leading up to labor. If your baby's head has not engaged by now, it may still have some time before it's ready to descend into the pelvis. That being said, it's always important to discuss any concerns or questions you have with your healthcare provider. They can provide you with personalized advice based on your individual situation and help you make informed decisions about your care. If you're interested in pursuing a natural birth, your healthcare provider can work with you to develop a birth plan that takes into account your fibroid and other medical conditions. This may involve strategies such as careful monitoring of your fibroid during labor, as well as close communication and collaboration between your healthcare provider and obstetrics team. I hope I have answers to your question Take care Dr Vandana Andrews
