Do fibroids give you pregnant look?


I have two quite large fibroids, and although I will be having them removed around November time, I am going around with this big stomach. It's really annoying because I lost alot of weight recently but now I'm slimmer with a pot belly. And will my stomach go down again when they're removed.

Fibroids are masses in your uterus. It's good you're getting them removed because they can start bleeding. My friend looked 6 month pregnant, she ended up needing to have a hysterectomy.
She lost her stomach with the fibroids & uterus removed. It sounds like you're taking care of the fibroids sooner than later.
You should be back to normal, whatever that is for you.

They can cause stomach swelling and bloating. One of mine was the size of a large grapefruit.

It is possible to have a noticable physical difference. Fibroids can vary greatly in size. Also, often there are several of varied sizes.

With 2 large fibroids you can improve you overall shape but they will probably frustrate you enough that you will not be happy until November.

I had a complete hysterectomy last Halloween. My doctor removed a fibroid tumor weighing 8lbs 4oz. I looked 8-9 months pregnant and ended up wearing maternity clothes for the three months prior to surgery. The tumor weighed more than either one of my two babies! Good luck!
