Q&A: What are the risks of hemangioma of the liver during pregnancy?

Question by myshell_rider: What are the risks of hemangioma of the liver during pregnancy?
Just recently I was told I may have hemangioma of the liver. I had an ultrasound which showed a leison a 2cm. The doctor recomended I have a CT, but I am currently 4months prenant. Well the doctor didn’t give me much info about what I have He just said to come back after I have the baby. Well I’ve done my own research and I’m a little worried because I’ve read the it can grow when you pregnant and there is risks of rupture. Well I’ve had pain in my stomache since before I was pregant, and I guess my question is: Should I be concerned or trust the doctor and not worry till after I have the baby? Should I find another doctor? Is there any more information I should know or that any one else can tell me? Thanks

A lesion this small should present no problem to you or your little one….particularly if you never knew you had it because you had no symptoms.

The CT scan will just give the doctor a definite diagnosis. Your doctor is right, you really have nothing to worry about. However, if you don’t trust or doctor or would just feel safer getting a second opinion, by all means do so.

In the meantime, here is a site that will back up what I have just told you.
