Hi Pregpan - what a great topic to bring up.. i have scoliosis also, but was told i needed a rod in my back when i was a teenager. This year my back has been playing up and when we found out i was pg, i went and saw my Doctor, who told me that later pregnancy will probably exaggerate the scoliosis and i would definately need to consider having the operation done after my pregnancy! I'm very scared about having this procedure done, as i have heard so many night mare stories.

I'm sure if you only have mild scoliosis, you probably won't have to resort to this.. but i am guessing that extra weight will exaggerate your scoliosis also and will get quite painful down the track.. fingers crossed i hope not for your sake!
