Do fibroids give you pregnant look?

Question:

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.

Answers:
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.

Other Answers:
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!
