A woman was left feeling ''like Frankenstein's monster" after a two-stone tumour was removed from her WOMB.<br /><br />Sarah Haslam, 44, was devastated after severe fibroids left her looking nine months pregnant.<br /><br />The full-time carer first noticed symptoms when she struggled with an eight-week-long period in February 2019<br /><br />Her stomach then began to grow leaving friends and family assuming she was pregnant with her third child.<br /><br />It took a month for her to get a diagnosis of uterine fibrosis, in March 2019. These are growths, usually non-cancerous, that appear on the uterus.<br /><br />After waiting 18 months for the removal of the tumour at Oldham Hospital, Manchester, she has now had the huge mass removed.<br /><br />Medics were forced to remove her whole womb in order to save her life after the tumour had seen her weight drop by seven stone going from a size 12 to a size four.<br /><br />But the procedure has left her with an ''enormous'' L-shaped seven-inch scar running from her breast bone to her vagina.<br /><br />Despite complications, Sarah has now returned to her normal weight and is on the road to recovery.<br /><br />Sarah, from Radcliffe, Manchester, said: "I looked pregnant with a nine-month-old tumour.<br /><br />"My scar looks like Frankenstein's monster.<br /><br />"I can't even go swimming with my grandson.<br /><br />"I still don't leave my house without people."<br /><br />Sarah's ordeal began in February 2019, when she had a two-month-long period.<br /><br />After a check-up with the GP and an ultrasound scan, medics found uterine fibroids commonly known as 'fibro tumours' in her uterus.<br /><br />Due to their small size, she was given a coil, in March 2019, to simply reduce the bleeding they caused.<br /><br />Sarah, a mother-of-three, said: "I was spending so much money on sanitary towels.<br /><br />"I was wearing two or three sanitary towels at a time and buying them in bulk.<br /><br />"This one time I was wearing white jeans and it looked like a murder scene.<br /><br />"I felt bloated and incredibly weak.<br /><br />"I couldn't leave my house, I had a puddle at my feet sometimes."<br /><br />But the coil failed to prevent the bleeding and left her in "excruciating" pain.<br /><br />After suffering a seizure at home, she was rushed to Oldham Hospital, Manchester, where doctors discovered the tumour was degenerating which caused sepsis and pneumonia.<br /><br />Sarah, engaged to Daniel Clarke, 44, a warehouse worker, said: "After bleeding for 32 days straight, I knew something wasn't right.<br /><br />"I'd never had a seizure, it was terrifying.''<br /><br />Sarah spent two weeks in the hospital to prevent the infection from spreading further.<br /><br />During the following nine months, she was in and out of hospital with fibroid complications and could ''literally see'' the tumour on her uterus growing in size.<br /><br />Over 18 months after diagnosis, doctors decided to operate on the then two-stone tumour.<br /><br />Sarah said: ''I felt incredibly heavy, but so weak.<br /><br />"I never left the house because I didn't want people to ask questions.<br /><br />"My daughters were really worried about my health.<br /><br />"I was in constant pain, and I looked pregnant.<br /><br />"I had to explain to peo
