ACL SURGERY WHILE PREGNANT

Hi everyone. I am a mess.

I tore my ACL exactly a week ago. Meniscus is also out of place and blocking the knee. Ortho suggested to do the surgery in 3-4 weeks where I would be 18-19 weeks pregnant. My OB also gave the green light. The 2 of them will talk and make a plan and also talk with the anesthesiologist. I will see an MFM before surgery too to clear everything with the baby.

So the timing of this obv is horrible. But actually, my husband will be home with me for the next 3 months and be able to help with everything. Since we have a 4 y/o too.

I can read on here that The recovery is a wild road to say the least . Idk what Do you guys think?? I’m scared but seems like there is no other option bc the meniscus is blocking the knee…
