They said they didnt think i could have anymore injections while pregnant and they would neednto do urgent laser this week, has anyone else had any similar experiences particulary with pregnancy - im petrified of losing vision and the laser doing nothing and ive got 6 months to go!!!!!!

I'm sorry, I have no experience of this but wanted to offer a congratulations on your pregnancy and fingers crossed for your treatment. I'm sure someone with some useful advice will be along soon.

i thought laser treatment was the best option whether you are pregnant or not?
