Fibroids in early pregnancy were associated with an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. It has been seen that fibroids undergo rapid and remarkable growth during pregnancy, particularly in the first half. The effects of fibroids on blood pressure (BP) may be amplified by the rapid expansion of fibroids during pregnancy; we present a unique case report where a normotensive patient with uterine fibroid developed preeclampsia at 34-weeks gestational age.
