This is not a question that should be answered by any of us, even if we

thought we knew the answer.

What was safe for one pregnant woman may not be safe for another.

Anesthesiologists are extremely well trained for the jobs they do, and they

should be the ones making the decisions about how to proceed. Your

surgeon following our advice on how to anesthetize you is even scarier than

's doctor following our advice regarding TSH and T4 dosing.
