title: Uterine myomas in pregnancy.
abstract: Pregnancy complications occur in many patients who have uterine myomas. Patients in whom the placenta is implanted near a myoma are more likely to be affected. Early pregnancy bleeding, premature rupture of membranes and postpartum hemorrhage are the problems most frequently seen. Sonographic assessment identifies these patients who are at risk and in whom special precautions are advisable.
