I'm trying to decide to do pregnancy pre-surgery w/Dr. Hibner or post-surgery w/Dr. Hibner.
Dr. Hibner recommended no pregnancies after his surgery (I think he's playing it ultra safe b/c no one knows) but I don't want to wait till another baby before getting my nerve fixed. I'd rather fix the nerve, then have a baby, if it's possible to do safely.
any stories of pregnancy post successful PNE surgeries making PN return without a vaginal birth but with a safe c-section? (ie: horror stories?)
Studies show that pregnancy does not affect the pudendal nerve, only childbirth does. See study: http://www.springerlink.com/content/862k54455677612m/
I had one pregnancy with PNE after a failed PN surgery (in which ligaments were not touched), and I had a C-section and nothing got worse from pregnancy then...but I want more info
thanks everyone.

ps- this was Dr. Hibner's rationale for avoiding pregnancy post surgery (playing it safe) Per his PA Lisa Wadsworth: "Dr. Hibner still strongly believes that if you intend to have another child, you should do so before pudendal surgery. Although the study you found does not suggest that the Pudendal nerve is affected by pregnancy, he points out that there are 0 studies on how the nerve reacts to pregnancy after pudendal nerve surgery. Also the study that you were referring to, does not account for patients who had pudendal nerve irritation before the study."
pps- I just spent an hour researching links on tipna, and found the following
