yes i'm going ahead with the surgery. 3 weeks ago the tumor was 5.6cm and yesterday it was 5.9cm. Dr did say it's changing shape. I guess to make more room down there since baby is getting bigger. The more he talked, the more it sounded like we need to get this removed. I am just so scared of something happening. He says there's less than 1% chance of miscarriage. The tough part about it is the anesthetic and risk of infection. He said they will cut me open just like a C section. Once Andrew showed much concern about the anesthetic, the Dr said he could probably try using what they give during C section. Which is to just keep me awake, but numb me from stomach down. He said he's not sure, but the whole ovary may need to come out. I'll be hospitalized for 2-3 days and they're going to very closely monitor baby to make sure everything is okay. I've been looking all over the internet on stories just like mine and it seems like many success stories. A couple of the bad ones seemed to get their tumor removed in 1st tri which Dr should've never recommended since baby is constantly growing organs, etc. My dr said 2nd tri is safest because baby is fully developed for the most part. 3rd tri is dangerous just because of how big the baby is getting. I'm just praying extra hard that i'll be one of them success stories. I never thought that once i finally got pregnant that i'd have to worry about this too. If it's the only obstacle during this whole pregnancy and i'll still have my son in my arms in the end, then it will be so worth it.
They took a peek between the legs today but it's just too early to tell.
Hoping she'll be able to tell at 16 weeks!!
But it sounds like the surgery is the best option and your little guy is strong, keep us updated xxx
Try and have a relaxing weekend - hope you don't have to work?!
