A member asked:
Is it safe to be pregnant with a spinal cord stimulator?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Team approach: It requires a team approach (OB/GYN, neurosurgeon, anesthesiology). Implantation of SCS in young women should take into account the future needs of obstetric & anesthetic care by avoiding the abdomen and lower lumbar spine whenever possible. The fetuses in 2 cases developed normally at 2 years of age. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1525-1403.2010.00288.x/abstract
