A member asked:
Is it possible for a person with disc degeneration problem to become pregnant?

Certainly: Degenerative changes in the spine do not typically affect fertility. Depending on where the problems are, sometimes the assoiated pain can actually improve with pregnancy. Other degenerative changes, especially in the lower spine an sacrum, can feel worse during pregnancy.

Yes: There are no issues. Disc degeneration is a normal aging process of the spine.
