Ep 243: Denise’s Birth Story - Three abdominal surgeries within 2 years and a surprise pregnancy

Fibroids, two C-sections, and one myomectomy. Denise showed incredible strength and bravery along her difficult path to motherhood. In addition to carrying her baby, she had fibroids that grew to enormous size - one was the size of a grapefruit! She had a myomectomy (fibroid removal) and two months afterward she discovered that she was pregnant again. She was told specifically not to get pregnant for at least 24 months to let her uterus heal but, as Denise says, “things happen”!


Since pregnancy number two was especially high-risk, she was referred to a maternal fetal medicine specialist. Even though she felt afraid, her peace was her priority throughout her unique and stressful birth experiences. She had a planned c-section and in the end she had a beautiful birth and a healthy baby.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

• How Denise got through two high-risk pregnancies
• Why her first birth ended in an emergency c-section
• When she was diagnosed with fibroids
• What symptoms Denise was experiencing before the fibroids were discovered
• How she felt after her myomectomy
