The location of ur fibroid should not interfere with normal delivery, however its a big one and may later require removal if u have normal delivery. If u end up with a cesarean, discuss with ur gynaecologist for removal during the same

It is a subserosal fibroid which is a safe fibroid as far as the pregnancy is concerned.

12cm is big. You have preterm labor, IUGR, low weight baby. But you may go for vaginal delivery unless there's an obstetric indication for cesarean.

A 12 x9 cm fibroid is quite large. But because it is subserosal it should not interfere with pregnancy. But there can be some effects like growth restriction in baby, preterm labor, it may undergo red degeneration itself.
It needs to be monitored properly throughout pregnancy. But as such a subserosal fibroid is not a contraindication to normal delivery.
Just in case you end up having a caesarean, and if this is a pedunculated subserosal fibroid then it may be removed during your C section.
