I went through a healthy pregnancy with my AN, a year before my surgery.  I didn't know I had the AN at the time, which I'm sure makes things much harder for you now that you know.  Ignorance was bliss in my case.  Best of luck with your decision for you and the little one :)

Left side 1.7 cm AN diagnosed 7/30/08
Misdiagnosed for 8 + years
Surgery, Sub-occipital, 11/17/2008 at Indiana University Hospital
Left SSD
Tumor much larger than expected. Facial nerves intact, but had RARE swelling resulting in brachial plexus injury and tracheostomy after surgery.

I, too, was unknowingly pregnant with my AN.  Though I did notice a slight hearing loss during the pregnancy, that was about it.  It was the hormones of nursing (for me) that led to many, many more symptoms which ultimately led me to see my doctor.
Had surgery (retrosigmoid) May 9th, 2008 to remove a 3.5cm AN from left side.
Home one week later, no facial nerve damage. 
SSD -Left ear.
Thankful daily for fantastic surgeons and wonderful family and friends.
34 years old.  Married mommy to Jordan, 23 months.

Thanks for all the replies everyone...sorry it took me so long to get back but a lot has happened.

A week or so after I consulted this wonderful forum about the pregnancy I started to bleed and the pregnancy was lost.

Im ok. I had mixed emotions about the entire situation. Everything happens for a reason.

Thanks again to everyone..

tatianne,

I'm SO sorry about the loss of the pregnancy.  From a guy's perspective and someone who's been on the "guy side" of several lost pregnancies, I'm confident that it's very emotional and saddening.  You're right that things happen for a reason.  You and your family will be in our prayers.

Regards,
Brian

Tatianne,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, but everything for a reason, as you say. Even if we are not aware of what those reasons are yet. I know it must be a sad and confusing time but we are all here for you. I was on IVF when I found about my AN and had to stop the program, that was hard but now I am just focusing on getting myself well.
