concerned

I'm very concern about the health of my baby, I had an endovenous ablation surgery in my right leg for a varicose vein at that time I did not know I was preganant, I'm worried if the laser and  local anesthesia affect the fetus.Does anyone know anything?

If it was just local anesthetic, it most likely had no affect on the baby. Also, lasers are meant to be very precise and local, so I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem either. if you are still unsure, just run it by your doctor - I'm sure baby is fine.

I'm not sure about that kind of surgery but I had my gallbladder removed and an abdominal xray under general anesthetic at 21wks, and also had a cavity filled at 18wks with local anesthetic. Baby is doing great at 34wks so fingers crossed everything is great for you too :)
