Dotctors comment...hum...

I went to the doctor yesterday. He was running behind because of an emergency section. When he finally saw me he made a comment like this...

Has your fibroid ever presented any problems in your other pregnancies? At 20 weeks it was 10cm. Was it that big in your previous pregnancies? How many kids do you have? What is your plan for your family?

And that was about it...

When I asked Aaron why he would say that Aaron said that there is always a risk of bleeding and if they can't get the bleeding to stop they would have to do a hysterectomy. Also, with every pregnancy the fibroid only gets bigger so it could start to compete with the baby for the blood supply. I wish the doctor would have said that and not just Aaron...

yikes. i can't believe he didn't explain why he'd be concerned! My question is, why didn't they just take out the fibroid during one of your other c-sections? Is that even possible?
