Probably.: Probably, but be sure to talk to your surgeon and then the anesthesiologist about it. They can help you weigh any pros and cons of delaying the surgery.

Ob: Second trimester is the best time to have surgery, but if medically necessary or emergency, surgery can be done anytime during pregnancy.
