No: I'm sorry to hear about your problems. New moms have enough stress to deal with. But not all brain tumors are cancer so it should not affect your baby.

No relationship: If a mother-to-be has a brain tumor it will not affect the fetus at all, unless it causes the mother to have a serious acute problem such as a lack of oxygen during a seizure. In fact certain kinds of brain tumors (meningiomas) are known to grow more rapidly during pregnancy. There are many kinds of 'brain tumor', some benign and some not...Talk this over with your doctors.
