Can become large: Fibroid tumors can become quite large and occupy a significant amount of space in the abdominal cavity. See your doctor if you are concerned about this.

Yes: A fibroid that grows large enough can occupy A LOT of space in your abdomen, but it's likely to feel pretty firm. You should see a doctor about this. If you're just feeling bloated, then it could be an ovarian cyst that's secreting hormones that can make you feel bloated. Either way, it's worth going to the doctor.

Yes: Fibroids can enlarge the uterus to make a woman look pregnant. During a physical exam, doctor will often describe the enlarged fibroid-filled uterus in terms of a similar size pregnancy. For example, a uterus enlarged by fibroids which extends to the level of the woman's navel is a 16 week uterine size.
