YES!: Women who get pregnant with iud in situ face high risk for adverse perinatal outcomes including miscarriage fetal loss preterm premature rupture of membranes preterm birth chorioamnionitis and resultant cerebral palsy. Your obstetrician will determine if the iud should be pulled in the first trimester or not on the basis of its location in relation to the gestational sac.
