Do Fibroids Affect The Method Of Delivery Of The Baby?

Several studies have shown that the presence of fibroids in pregnancy tends to lead to an increased rate of cesarean section deliveries. Cesarean section rates have been reported in the range of 50% in pregnancies with fibroids. The primary reason for the surgical delivery (cesarean section) appears to be malpresentation (e.g., breech) of the baby. Other studies have demonstrated that vaginal deliver-ies occur in most pregnancies with fibroids (even large fibroids).
