Question Does LEEP procedure complicate pregnancy??

Hi! I just found out I am pregnant(only about 5 weeks) and I have so many concerns. I had a LEEP procedure done about 2 years ago for pre-cancerous cells on my cervix. I have had 2 normal pap smears since then so everything seems to be fine. I was wondering if anyone knows if because I had the LEEP are there any complications that could result from that?!? I am trying not to worry but I guess it is normal the first few days you find out to go through a whole range of worrisome thoughts. I am very excited and am glad to have this board for questions. Thanks for reading!

Angel

hello Angel, my df had a leep a couple of years ago also. she is currently 15 weeks pg. at the beginning she spotted brown mostly but some red and pink for the first 9 weeks and also had some cramping which is normal. whether or not this is related to the leep is unknown. We were told by a nurse that she could have been spotting due to scar tissue from the procedure but that as the uterus grew bigger it would act as a pressure dressing and would eventually stop. we had to abstain from relations for a couple of weeks just to be sure and everything turned out fine. Womens bodies heal very well and this is her third pg. She has 2 daughters already but the leep was done after their births. she experienced no spotting with either of them. All is well now except for severe hyperemsis (morning sickness). I would rest your mind and body, I'm sure all will be just fine. You will be going through many changes, if you have questions, talk to your doctor. but it is her experience that 99% of the time all is normal. God bless and take care

i had the leep done-the only side effect i experienced was during the last few centimeters of dialating my doc checked me and said the scar tissue was keeping me from going the rest of the way-he said something like he was gonna break through it-no problem-he did something with his fingers and presto chango it was time to push

I had a d&c cone biopsy and a yr. later was pg, no problems with that one, last yr. I had the LEEP and I am now 31 wks pg! So far so good! The only thing I have read is it can cause Cervical Incompentence, which can weaken your cervix, make you miscarry or preterm labor. Good luck to you!
