We tested the hypothesis that the protective effect of parity on fibroids is due to direct pregnancy-related effects by following women from early pregnancy to postpartum period with ultrasound. Of 171 women with one initial fibroid, 36 % had no identifiable fibroid at the time of postpartum ultrasound, and 79 % of the remaining fibroids decreased in size.
