Hello, my name is Dr Olgeta Xhufka. I understand your concern. The procedure itself doesn't have any risk fir pregnancy. But you have to inform the doctor who is going to do the procedure because some anesthetic medications and some used after procedure are better not to use during pregnancy. Your doctor may choose some that are A category that are not harmful to foetus .Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
