Sure ive seen it wor: Check with OB about using narcotics during pregnancy or any medicines might need to abstain from meds early on, wont be comfortable but will be tolerable and possible nothing about scoliosis prevents it, if your curve is bigger than 45 degrees than should fix it before , pregnancy easier to work in schedule before baby scoliosis is generally felt to be painless you should search for alternative dx

Unique: This is a case-by-case issue. I know of one who's been successful. That said, you'll be wise to think long about the future re sufficient support of all sorts to provide for the child and you. Specifically experienced OBGN will help for the 1st step but there are decades ahead that will be a challenge too. Counseling may help you decide.
