A thorough literature search was performed, and the amassed data were analyzed to answer some of our most important queries about the role that myomas play in pregnancy and delivery. Uterine leiomyomas ultimately decrease in size during late pregnancy and postpartum. Spontaneous abortion rates are similar in women with and without leiomyomas. The data addressing leiomyoma effects on preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, placental abruption, cesarean delivery, and postpartum hemorrhage rates are conflicting, but the best evidence does not show a significant correlation compared with women without myomas. Preterm delivery rates are elevated in women with leiomyomas. Myomectomy does not decrease preterm deliveries and may increase this risk.
