9 weeks prenant.. have been having issues with my implants prior to pregancy. I met with two different surgeons prior to finding out i am pregnant, both surgeons said that it can be done under local anasthesia and will take about 30 minutes, do not require drains.

Is this safe to do while being pregnant?
