Yes and no: may or may not affect pregnancy
as uterus grows fibroids can increase in size only to go back after pregnancy ends
u may get cramps
rarely pregnancy may miscarry
depending on site location can cause obstructed labor though rarely
Most of time no problems

Fibroids in pregnanc: Fibroids due to tend to enlarge during pregnancy, as fibroids tend to grow in response to higher estrogen levels, this varies from one pregnancy to another. Fibroids can cause complications in pregnancy and your doctor may want to follow the pregnancy more closely with more frequent USs. The doctor who is following your pregnancy is the best person to provide you with more information.
