So I need your opinion. LOL
I am not sure I have shared this with you ladies yet or not.
I have a tumor in my left lower abdomin that is on the outside wall of my abdomin. I had this with my last pg's as well. The one I m/c. I am pretty sure I had it with my other 2 as well but to a lesser degree. I have always had a little pooch on one side and thought it was just how I was made. So I am pretty sure its been there for a while. Anyhow, I have been debating on having it out or not.
I asked my OB dr if it would affect the pregnancy in anyway and he did say no.
I just keep thinking about it and wondering if I should have it out before I get PG. I so do not want to wait or stop ttc for this. I do think about it maybe causing me pain as the uterus gets larger and presses down on it. Not sure that would even happen though.
My surgeon said that she did not think it was cancerous. In fact in the beginning when I first seen her I told her I may be pg and she said to just wait till after I had the baby to do anything for it. SO then we waited to ttc. I then got PG and had a m/c.
So my question is would you ladies have it out first or ttc and have a baby first and then have it out? I just worry about it. BTW I did ask if it had anything to do with my m/c and they said it did not have anything to do with that. My OB says it would not affect the pregnancy. Another thing is that my surgeon said that she would do a mini tummy tuck while she was at it. So I am thinking I want to have my baby first if we are going to do that.
I do feel alittle pressure now sorda like you feel when you have a bladder infection. So that does bother me. I go back to my surgeon on FEB 9th to talk about everything more. I have not seen her in a while. I so dont want surgery at all. I am just not sure if we should have our baby first or get this surgery done first. My plan was to ttc first but now that I am feeling pressure I am not sure. What would you do?

I honestly do not know what I would do. I just wanted to say best of luck in whatever you decide.

Not sure here either... I love the idea of the tummy tuck after you finally have a baby. That would be idea so I think I'd lean that way but if you are starting to feel pain/pressure then I'd really reconsider that. Bottom line, I think, since it shouldn't affect pg, I'd leave it as long as I could (so I could get my tummy tuck later) but if the pain got to be bad enough, I'd just get it removed now though I do think it will probably cause you to have to put TTC on hold.

THanks. It is a tough decision. Its not really painful or anything, its just mainly pressure but it does not stop me from daily activities or anything.

I think I would have to ask some more questions... What are looking at in terms of Hospital/healing time if you have it removed? How long will you have to put off TTC?..... How bad is the pain when you get pregnant?? Is this pain something you can live with for 9 months? How long after the baby would they remove it? If it removed after the baby... what are your restrictions going to be if any?? Lifting? Are you planing on breastfeeding.... (Since you may need pain meds/antibotics).. These are some of the questions I would have to keep in mind when making my choice... HUGS to what ever you decide..
