A member asked:

I have perthes disease and 19 weeks pregnant! i don't have very much movement in my hips. will it be possible for me to give birth naturally ?

Dr. Armando Russo answered

Could be a problem: A consultation from your orthopedic doctor as to the range of motion of your pelvis will answer the question. In general terms, your pelvis must be normal to give birth.
