“Absolutely not true! Scoliosis is not a condition that precludes pregnancy and the joy of bringing a child into the world. Pregnancy is indeed a tricky period in which scoliosis is more likely to progress, and therefore it is certainly a good idea to keep your back situation monitored by a specialist during and after pregnancy. However, it is wrong to say that a woman with scoliosis should avoid having children. A severe lumbar curve may make it more complicated to administer an epidural, but that is a situation for the anaesthetist to manage.”- February ISICO Newsletter
