Had surgery not knowing you were pregnant?
It is not as 'unsafe' as one might think to have surgery whilst pregnant, however it does help if you're aware that you're pregnant before you have the surgery. As soon as you become aware that your pregnant and have had surgery, it's worth getting an ultrasound done to check that the fetus has not suffered any ill-effects - although most people would get an ultrasound when they find out that they're pregnant anyway. You may find it reassuring to know that it's now considered safe for a pregnant woman to undergo liver or kidney transplant surgery and still give birth to a healthy baby.
