A Little Bird Told Me – Day 5 of Fibroid Awareness Week!

Get to your twitter accounts and Facebook accounts and spread the word! It’s time to take control and talk about uterine fibroids so that other women can hear your voice and learn from your experience. The last day of Fibroid Awareness Week will be open to interpretation, but I encourage you to get out there and make your voice heard!  Talk to your partner, your closest girlfriends, seek a support group and most importantly, talk to your doctor about fibroids and your treatment options. It’s important to remember while many fibroids are small and won’t need treatment, others can grow and spread aggressively. And although it is not common that a woman would have complications during pregnancy due to fibroids, it’s certainly not unheard of. My pregnancy is a shining example of that. That’s one of the reasons why I always encourage the women in my life to see their OBGYNs before planning a pregnancy and to keep healthy in general. That’s also why the mission of His Middle Name has grown in many ways to be not only a resource for preemie parents, but advocate women and mothers as well. I’m very proud of what His Middle Name is becoming, and I hope you are enjoying the journey as well.

P.S. If you are not sure how to start the conversation on fibroids and you have a twitter account, you can always ask questions and get advice here.
