Broken bone* hahah not brown bone😂

I had a broken wrist when I was 8 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately I decided to wait and see if it heals by itself and had the surgery when my LO was a few months old. I regret not getting it fixed while I was pregnant because I didn't realize how much of a pain it would be managing a lo when I'm not fully functioning. I would check with your surgeon and midwife and get it done now if it isint risky second trimester is the safest time. Remember you wont be able to feed your lo for 12 hours after anesthesia and won't be able to breastfeed if you're taking strong painkillers. I had to just take paracetamol/ibuprofen and deal with the pain because my LO wouldn't take a bottle. Weigh the pros and cons for you and all the best!

Forgot to mention painkiller situation would be same while you're pregnant. You would only be able to take paracetamol/ibuprofen but hopefully you can rest and take it easy
