A member asked:

I have cervical spinal stenosis, i'm pregnant and i'm worried about my neck in labour, will it be safe or would a c section be best?

It will be safe.: If you don't have symptoms now the force of labor would not likely be and issue. Certainly if you have great concern speak to the physician who diagnosed the stenosis.
