Only those subjects were enrolled in the present study that had fibroids of more than 2 cm in diameter. They were followed during antenatal period clinically and scanned by ultrasonogram which was done at booking visit and during subsequent visits to assess the change in the size of the fibroid and other obstetric complications. Outcome was recorded. Analysis of all the results done. Results: In 15 percent of the subjects, preterm labor was seen. Antepartum bleeding,Postpartum haemorrhage and abdominal pain needing admission was seen in 5 percent, 6 percent and 6 percent of the patients. In 2 percent of the patients, spontaneous pregnancy was seen, while premature delivery was seen in 23 percent of the patients. Vaginal delivery and C section were seen in 15 percent and 85 percent of the patients. Congenital anomaly was seen in 3 percent of the patients while NICU admission was seen in 5 patients. Conclusion: Uterine fibroids during pregnancy are often associated with an increased risk of difficulties during the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum phases of the healing process.
