Brain tumour during pregnancy

[Bic29]

I am 3 months pregnant with my first child. On Saturday, my partner was woken by me having a seizure. I was rushed to hospital where I found out 2 things: baby is alive and well :) nd I have a lesion on my brain, which is probably a tumour The good news is that it's in a part of my brain that doesn't do much! Has anyone got any experience of this themselves or through friends?

I'm sorry I have no experience of this, but just wanted to say that I hope everything works out. The medical technology now is excellent and I'm sure they can do something without harming the pregnancy.

Good luck with it all.

I have, in my previous job, treated a few ladies with brain tumours when they were pregnant. After the first 12 weeks, babies are very resilient to their mother having a general anaesthetic and even radiotherapy when needed.

Good luck !

Thank you for your comments. It really helps to hear from complete strangers, especially the one who recommended mumsnet to me.

Goodness poor you. I don't have any advice - sorry - but wanted to say that i hope all goes well for you all. Good luck.

might be an odd post, but my mum had a brain tumour which came on whilst pregnant with me, I was fine and didn't suffer at all cos of it.

A friend at school had a brain tumour. V frightening for her and her family at the time so can imagine it has been a massive shock. It was all removed and was non-malignant. Hope you get a good result, congrats on your pregancy and glad baby is OK.

Terribly tough time for you - but CMO's comments must provide some relief for you. Hope things progress well on both fronts!

Hope you're feeling ok, good to see some positive outcomes from others. Have sent you a PM

glad your dp was there to see you seizure and get you help, I hope you and baby get through it ok!!
