Removed brain AVM and pregnant

Hi, Alexandra!
I had a ruptured AVM surgically removed YEARS ago. My surgeon never mentioned any cautions to me regarding pregnancy, or any activity for that matter. Was the neurosurgeon absolutely sure he had removed it all? Did you ever have a post-op arteriogram? (I never did.). Has your health been stable?
I am NOT a doctor, but don’t see why an AVM would regenerate. It’s an anomaly that has been removed. Perhaps your doctors should contact your neurosurgeon or even other neurosurgeons to discuss your case.
I can understand your anxiety, especially when your obstetrician or primary physician convey their trepidation! Have them research the questions to your satisfaction.
:pray:t3: Life is good
