First baby after Gasless-Laparoscopic for adhesions

Hello all,
Just wanted to update many of the people that have supported my wife
with adhesions. For those that don't know, my wife had gasless
laparoscopic surgery to remove adhesions in July. The day before, we
found out that she was 3 months pregnant. Its 7 months later and the
baby is the picture of health and Mommy is adhesion free.
I can't beleive my luck that I picked Gasless Laparoscopic procedure for
the removal of her adhesions. At the time, it just made more sense to
me. The opportunity for a doctor to use regular surgical tools over
long ackward larposcopic tools seemed a good idea since precise cutting
was required to ensure proper removal and no blood. I likened the
analogy to using chopsticks over a fork. Give me a fork any day if I
have to be exact. My understanding is that standard laproscopy for long
preocedures, which adhesion removal normally is, can't be done with
carbondioxide, due to the possible damage on the
uterus and baby by high pressure and by acidosis. I am not sure how
true of statement that is, this is my understanding.
If anyone is interested in our story or have a similar situation, feel
free to email me.
