I am 37 weeks pregnant, and for the past 3 weeks i have had static growth, and i am very concerned, what 2 do?

Answer 1

This is something you should discuss with your OB doctor,as he or she would know your progress better and is professionally qualified to evaluate you and baby. what is static growth anyhow? If the static growth is on your clothes, try using a dryer sheet.

Answer 2

here this is from the sciencedirect.com web page.  It tells you what it is and that it can be removed.  Normally after pregnancy they will move forward to remove any tumor like tissue. Not to worry!  Things will be okay any questions or concerns consult your ob on Monday.

A case of uterine malignant leiomyoblastoma (UML) which was initially mistaken for uterine leiomyoma on two different occasions is presented. About 20 cases of uterine leiomyoblastoma taking a malignant course have been described in the literature. This case of UML is the first diagnosed during pregnancy. In retrospect, tumor tissue removed from the uterus 4 years earlier already showed histological signs of UML. The large and metastatic tumor showed nuclear atypia, a moderate mitotic index, and tumor cell necrosis, indicating malignancy. Treatment consisted of hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and debulking of most other tumor masses. In the literature, radio- and chemotherapy have not proved to be effective in these tumors. Hormonal therapy has only been used in 2 patients. In this patient, hormonal influence on tumor growth may be substantial. The tumor was progesterone- and estrogen-receptor positive and increased in size rapidly during pregnancy. Since little is known about these tumors further studies are necessary to evaluate hormonal influences both as a causative factor and as a therapeutic possibility.

Answer 3

The baby has not grown or your bump has not grown ?

If it is just your fundal hieght has not grown this is quite common as the baby starts to engage (especially if it's your first) and so it may move down 1 cm in your pelvis - so even if it grows 1 cm the fundal hieght stays the same..

It is very common - if your doc is concerned the can send you for non stress test (nst) and for ultrasound but please do not be overly concerned near term it is common for fundal hieght not to increase.
