A member asked:
Can giving birth (pushing) cause a brain aneurysm or bleed on brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There has been no association between pushing and formation of brain aneurysms. There have been concerns of increased risks of pushing in patients with certain specific neurological conditions (shunts, strokes, etc). Patients with neurological conditions should ask their OB and neurologist about the safest mode of delivery.
