A member asked:

Can i get a knee scope while 2 months pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not ideal: It is not recommended. There are occasions when general anesthesia is used during pregnancy, but we know it puts baby to sleep the same way it puts mom to sleep. So, we try to avoid any elective surgery cases during pregnancy. I would suggest waiting to have your knee scope done after you deliver.
