Does Having 200 Staples In The Abdomen After 4ft Of Intestines Was Removed Affect Baby During Pregnancy?
I had 4 ft of my in intestines removed die to a benign tumor in my abdomen called lymphangioma and now have 200 titanium staples inside me. This was 6 years ago. Now I'm pregnant and am scared the staples will impact my pregnancy. Please help inform me how this will affect me and my baby.

Hello, no it will not affect pregnancy and keep visiting your gynecologist on scheduled dates.
