Is it safe to be pregnant with an scs implanted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited data but: There are many case reports of normal pregnancies even with a SCS in place. In general, pregnancy is not recommended during SCS therapy as its unclear how it will affect a pregnancy in the short and long run.
