Pregnancy POST UFE and wanting to cut out fibroid during C SECTION!

So my situation is that I am 35, been diagnosed with 11cm dominant fibroid, and another 2 small ones - got a UFE because a myomectamy was deemed too dangerous given the size and location of the dominant fibroid (it was posterior, pressing on colon.) And now I am thinking, I know I KNOW how risky it is to even get pregnant - but what can me and my husband do, not even try? SO I am super confused because all doctors basically think fibroids are a mystery. Typically women are told that fibroids should not be cut out during C-Section, but the reason for this is the risk of bleeding out too much. What if the patient had a UFE instead of myomectamy? Yes, I am aware the pregnancy will be high risk, because there is less blood flow to the uterus, but that should also mean that if I am able to carry it to the 3rd trimester, shouldn't the doctor be able to schedule a C Section and when cutting out the baby, also cut out the dead fibroid? It seems that since s/he would be cutting anyway, why not cut out the fibroid as well?

I have thought about this a lot and just want to find a doctor who is open minded enough to understand what UFE is and I am aware that most women who want to have future pregnancies choose a myomectamy, but in my case this was not recommended because of size and location of the dominant fibroid. I also am desperate to find a woman who has had a pregnancy after UFE - anyone out there?? Also, if a doctor recommendation for NY who is open minded and knows about this kind of complications and surgery. HELP!
