thankfully the Dr who did the surgery is also an OB-GYN. He knew she wanted a baby so he was able to get the largest one out in a second surgery. For years, she suffered with iron lost from bleeds. etc. She is expecting a very healthy baby to be delivered in a couple of weeks. At her age 42 a hysterectomy would have been the answer .
