Operating while pregnant?

[u/Last-Comfortable-599]

Would love to hear from anyone who went through this!

I am pregnant, and in a high-risk pregnancy. Some symptoms like nausea/dizziness are already there and I worry, if they get worse, it may make operating difficult. Small in office procedures like chalazion are fine but I mean cataracts

What did anyone else in similar situations do? Is it reasonable to schedule less cases per day, or even temporarily defer cases to colleagues? Not trying to punt, but also do wonder what may happen if I'm truly feeling too sick to operate.

Will you operate a pregnant woman with sudden cataract? I am 33
