pregnacy and anesthesia

[petraka]

Hi, please help me!!!.  I just found out I'm pregnant but I'm worried.  My last period was 08/23/08 and I had a colonoscopy done on 09/08/08 and an endoscopy done 09/22/08 and today is 09/27/08 . So I'm worried if the anesthesia is going to affect in anyway my baby.  Also I discovered that I'm O+ and my husband O- blood type will that affect my pregnancy ? I'm 27 years old.

You have a positive RH factor,  so your blood type won't be a problem.  

The anesthesia might be a different matter.  Find out exactly what anesthesia was used,  and talk to your doctor about it.

Don't panic and talk to your doctor. I have had several friends have anesthesia for different things while pregnant- one had kidney stones and had to be put under, one had her gallbladder removed while pregnant and one had a double mastectomy while pregnant and all of them went on to deliver healthy kiddos who are now all over 1 and doing great.  It may depend on what point in your pregnancy you have the anesthesia, etc.  All of them knew they were pregnant so I don't know if that makes a difference.  Talk to you your doc. and try to relax as you can't change it.  Let us know what he/she has to say. Good luck.

Thank you, knowing that makes me feel a little better ! I'm waiting for tomorrow to talk to my doctor and find out what type of anesthesia it was, and what could happened.
Thank you I will let you know what the doctor says.
