Polyps found during week 7 check-up

I just had my week 7 scan and check-up, saw a healthy heartbeat (which was great) and was told that there's no blood clotting etc surrounding my uterus.
All was good and phew. Until I mentioned my recorded off/ons of light brown to dark brown discharge/ spotting.
The doc gave another pap smear check and found a polyp size of a pea on my cervix. Apparentl's quite common and harmless, but was adviced to have
it removed (with surgical tools) as soon.
Here I'm wondering if I should seek second opinion, or leave it til after birth?

Bummer that I didn't ask what harm does it do to my baby if I delay this procedure?

Anyone here been through this?

Thanks!

Hi Melinda, I'm sure it's safe to have yours removed since you're not pregnant. My doc just advised me to avoid any surgery related to my cervix etc during first trimester as it might trigger miscarriage due to blood loss. She'll be monitoring my polyp on every visit to know if it's still safe to have it removed after week 13, I'm hoping it won't grow any larger. Book yourself a gynae to be sure, the one I go to now is Dr. Yamini Dhar at welcare ambulatory hospital (knowledge village) :)

Thanks Jane :) I'm still considering a second opinion. Am asking around about this.

Make another appointment to see your gynae. Have a long think about what you're unsure of and then talk to the doctor about it. Somebody else's experience of this may not be exactly the same as yours so you need to talk it through and get a second opinion if you're still unsure. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
