Is A Comb Biopsy Safe During Pregnancy???

[Snow1222]

This is my first time ever posting so I hope what I am writing is going to make sense to whomever reads this, and also hoping that someone might be able to help.
I am 23, and just had my first baby on 11-14-06. Shortly after my post-pardom appointment I recieved a phone call about having abnormal results and they wanted to being me in for a colposcopy. I went in the next week and they took three samples. Soon after they called me back and said that they wanted to schedule "surgery," to remove the bad areas. I since then have found out that I am pregnant again.
I have notified my OB who also does my prenatal care. They want to go ahead and have me talk to the doctor anyway about what we are going to do.
The wait is honestly killing me, and I wondered if anyone knew what possibilities might be, or if anyone has been in a similar situation. Could someone please help me with some information?

Its called a cone biopsy, in case you want to google it and find more info.  It makes sense to go in and talk to your doctor about it, and see if the doctor thinks it's urgent enough to do now.  Many times it can safely be put off until afterwards, but sometimes not.

  Unfortunately, no one here can really tell you what the proper course of action in your particular case is. It will be up to you and your doctor to decide on the timing and urgency.  Good luck.

I do know that it weakens your cervix but if necessary and if it CANNOT wait the dr will let you know.

I'm sure they can treat you and find ways to keep your cervix strong and healthy for your unborn baby.

They can surture it closed and maybe not even have to do it until after the baby is born.

It's necessary for you to talk to your dr about risks and benefits for this procedure.

i am going thru the exact same thing right now, however i found out 3 weeks after the cold cone biopsy that i was pregnant during the procedure.  my doctor cancelled my serum pregnancy test just an hour before the procedure because of a time constraint.  now i am left with the decision wether or not i can carry the baby full term.  i did have to sign documents that acknowledge the fact that carring a baby full term is unlikely without further medical procedures.  in my opinion this procedure should NEVER be done while pregnant unless cancer is suspected.  not knowing if u can carry the baby, or if the baby will be affected from the anesthesia is not worth the risk.
