New here! A little background: ttc - 7 years, 3 rounds of iui w/ clomid. Quit ttc and got pg - Found out I had fibroids when I was 10 weeks pg. Had 4 months bedrest and had c-section May 06 and delivered healthy baby girl - perfect in every way.
So here are my questions:
I'm having an abdominal myomectomy March 7 to remove at least 5 known fibroids. Besides the c-section, I've never had major surgery. Is the recovery similar to c-section recovery? What is it like "going under" and "waking up" from general anesthesia? Did you have to give blood before hand "just in case"?
Thanks!

Hi! Congrats on your daughter!
I think the recovery is similar to the c-section. You have pain in the same areas. Are they going to go through your c-section scar? I think the recovery from the c-section is quicker and easier though. The myomectomy will take longer for you to feel 100%, you have to be careful and rest even though you have a baby to care for. Get lots of help and stay off your feet.

Good luck on please come back and tell us how you are.

btw- I had 5 removed too.
