Pregnancy and AN

Hi Everyone,

I had surgery for removal of AN back in March this year. Surgeons left a little of the tumour to protect my facial nerve. I am now pregnant, just gone into my second trimester. I have been experiencing pressure like headaches- not sure if this is just pregnancy related or could be to do with AN?

does anyone have any advice or experience with this please? Thank you :)

Congratulations! I have pressure in my head, had it extremely badly for some time before the surgery which caused loss of vision but it dramatically lessened after surgery but started up again recently. My surgery was Aug '21, i'm due for an MRI in a few weeks and hope to ask consultant about it. Hope all goes well for you
