Does scoliosis affect pregnancy?

Question

I have mild scoliosis since teenage and now planning to conceive. Thoda tension ho raha hai whether the spine curve will cause problems during pregnancy or delivery. Anyone here with scoliosis who carried a baby? pls share how it went.

Just like I had thyroid and needed regular tracking, u also just need constant checkups. Regular follow-ups with both orthopedics and gynac will keep you completely safe.

Keep faith and stay positive, dear, everything goes well when we believe. Just keep your gynac informed so they can support your back properly.

I am in my second trimester now and my back already hurts, can't imagine how it is with scoliosis. Are you doing any special physiotherapy for it?

Asha Dave · Answer

Even I am planning a pregnancy soon and have mild back issues, so this is such a good question. Let me know what your doctor says about it!

Hey, chill and don't stress too much yaar! Many women with scoliosis have totally normal deliveries. Just talk openly with your gynac and anesthesiologist.

Mamta Tripathy · Answer

Honestly, it's very manageable but definitely discuss this with your gynac on priority.

Deepa Upadhyay · Answer

Oh it is completely valid to feel anxious about this! Your body goes through so much change, just give yourself some grace and trust your medical team.

In my experience, holding the baby post-delivery can also strain the back. Ask your doctor for safe prenatal exercises now so your back stays strong.

Dekho, scoliosis is a physical thing so don't take random advice online. Straight away tell your gynac and let them coordinate with an ortho doctor.

I just had my baby last month and honestly my lower back pain was quite bad. Please tell your doctor about scoliosis early because it can affect how they give epidural during delivery.
