I had a Pineal Tumor removed in 1986.I already had two children at the time 5 and 3. I became pregnant with my 3rd child in 1988. The only concerns at the time were ,
Could all the MRI's i had affect a child( had one while i was pregnant..didnt know i was pregnant) .When I had my first MRI in 1985 MRI's were still considered experimental..our insurance wouldnt pay for it. I have hundreds of them now..lol.
My Gyn was concerned how my VP Shunt could affect the pregnancy ..mainly delivery...and since back then they didnt replace the piece of skull they took out...how the strain of delivery would effect either of those. Before he agreed to deliver her ( he had delivered my other two children) he wanted the ok from my neurosurgeon that i wouldnt be considered high risk.
She was born naturally :) no problems...is 21 and just joined the Air Force.
