Can you have an operation whilst pregnant?!

i.e. keyhole surgery for gallbladder removal

they would normally only do emergancy operations that NEED doing NOW for medical reasons.

Otherwise wait until baby is born

Only if you really really need it eg appendix, fixing broken bone etc.
Not an elective operation.
