Hello what can i do to minimise the rate at which fibroids grow during pregnancy? thanks, thandiswa

Nothing to do: Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to stop fibroids from growing during pregnancy. The growth is mostly related to the increased blood flow to the uterus during pregnancy. This is important for the placenta and fetal development, so you don't want to minimize blood flow to the uterus.
