No: These are carry overs ideas from earlier days babies are hard work for the lumbar spine won't make your curve bigger either, time makes curves over 45 degrees bigger babies can be 20 year distractions.

No problem: The vast majority of patients who have scoliosis can have normal pregnancies. The one thing that is sometimes different is it can sometimes be technically difficult to get an epidural, particularly if you have a lot of rotation in your curve. Thank you for the question.
