Surgeries During Pregnancy: What you need to know.

Pregnant and told you might need surgery? Take a deep breath—this episode is for you. 🤍

In this episode of Mamadoc Babydoc, we break down what really happens when surgery is needed during pregnancy. From urgent procedures like appendectomy and cholecystectomy to pregnancy-specific interventions like cerclage, and diagnostic procedures such as endoscopy, we explain when surgery is recommended, how decisions are made, and what special precautions are taken to protect both you and your baby.

We'll cover:

• Which surgeries are commonly performed during pregnancy

• When surgery can't (and shouldn't) wait

• How anesthesia and surgical timing are handled in pregnancy

• What the research actually shows about risks and outcomes

This is an evidence-based, reassuring conversation designed to replace fear with facts. If you're pregnant and facing the possibility of surgery—or just want to be informed—don't panic. You're not alone, and safe care is absolutely possible.
