A member asked:

Is it true that a 4 inch fibroid tumor in the uterus too big to have a baby with?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fibroids: No, it is not generally true. Depending on where it is located on the uterus, itmay get in the way of an easy or normal vaginal delivery, but most of the time, it does not, and a c-section is always still possible.
