If the doc is concerned that the AVM may have regenerated somewhat, then perhaps that is something to look explicitly at and decide one way or the other. Perhaps get more than one opinion on the state of things and your safety to go through pregnancy as well as labour (or a c-section).
I’ve had a bit of a read around and angiogenesis as part of pregnancy, driven by hormone changes etc seems to be a thing – even a monthly thing for some people – so I guess it is important to understand what your specific risks are by a doctor understanding your current scans.
We have a host of ladies who have either gone through pregnancy or considered the same questions. I can see recently the following ladies discussing their concerns about hormones and pregnancy: @Lauren3 @Suraya @Blessing @hmg @Sarah26 @bettybo @Summer010824 @Maryg @HeatherC. I can see some who have had treatment for their AVM and a bunch who’ve not had an obliteration.
Hopefully we can get some to share their experience or understanding.
Best wishes,
Richard
