hI SSCOWR, here I see two issues, first you have concieved while on akt treatment with ethambutol ,isoniazid and rifampicin and secondly you have large size fibroid in broad ligament. First of all the akt mediction are potentially harmful to your fetus and you should consult your gynacologist about the same but as you are already 23weeks pregnent the time for preventive measures are gone.Yours is a case where TIFFA is very much indicated and you should have got it done between18-23 weeks so the sooner you get it done now the better. It helps to detect any birth defect that the fetus might be suffering from.Secondly your broad ligament fibroid is of fairly large size and it may cause some kind of obstruction during your labour or some other complications during delivary. You should follow up with your gynacologist very closely and should have a supervised delivary in a well equipped hospital. Do not take the situation lightly and do take care. Get a TIFFA done at the earliest. Take care.
