A member asked:
What to do if i am 8 weeks pregnant n about three months ago i had a lumbar discectomy n my specialist wants me to have an update. should i wait for my 20wk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait if possible: Your spine surgeon wants an update? Of.....your MRI?? If so, then MRI is considered safe during pregnancy, but if it can wait until 20 weeks, then all the better. Good luck!
