question about fibroids and pregnancy?

My 33 yr old sister is pregnant...~14-15 weeks...only found out she was pregnant at 10 weeks because she was still taking birth control pills...but also taking an experimental drug for severe psoriasis that obviously lowered the effectiveness of the BC pills.

The question is regarding her last checkup...she was told that her uterus was very large...said that it could be a result of another fetus (but her ultrasound at 10 weeks only picked up 1 heartbeat...no multiple births in either family)...the other thing was it could be fibroids.

They apparently will investigate further at her next ultrasound.

What does this mean for her pregnancy...does it give greater risks for miscarriages, delivery, etc...??

Thanks

J
