A member asked:

I have an iron plate in the head of the humerus of my right shoulder. am pregnant . is it safe to have a normal vaginal birth or csection?

Dr. Ashu Syal answered

Birth: What does a plate in humerus have to do with making child birth decision ? Whether you can deliver normally or byc section depends upon the size of your baby with respect to size of your pelvis, and the progress of labor.

No impact: The internal fixation device in your humerus should not effect child birth.
