Scoliosis: Has no effect on your ability to deliver or birth a baby. Prepare for your child's birth as anyone else would.

Depends: In all but the most severe cases, there is really nothing specific you have do differently with your pregnancy because of your scoliosis. The only thing that sometimes comes up with labor is that it can sometimes technically difficult to do an epidural on a patient if they have a curve with a lot of rotation to it. Thank you for the question.
