Quotes

"Any kind of surgery in the first trimester carries a lot of risks given that this is an intensive time of development for the embryo. You try to minimize medication to the mother during that time. However, if there is an escalating infection, that could be life threatening to the mother and therefore for the fetus as well."—Dr. Cherlin Johnson¹
