General anaesthetic in second trimester

Mel

I’m currently 17+5 and have thyroid cancer which I was diagnosed with last month.

I have to have surgery on Thursday to remove my whole thyroid and surrounding lymph nodes due to the spread. The surgery is 7 hours under general anaesthetic.

Obviously I’m really worried about my baby girl and any reassurance on having a general anaesthetic during surgery would be greatly appreciated
