Newbie with Babies on the Brain

Hi, my name's Jessica (I'm 23) and I wouldn't exactly say I'm TTC, but my husband and I are doing nothing to stop it. We would love to have our first child soon, but our belief is it will happen when the time is right.

I am always up for giving and receiving advice, so don't feel like you shouldn't say what's on your mind. I was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 13 and had spinal fusion surgery due to the severity of the progression of the curvature of my spine. If there's any one on here who has been through a pregnancy and has had this surgery, I would love input!

 

Nice to meet you all.

Hi and welcome! My husband and I are newly married and plan to start TTC in late-January. Sure is an exciting time for us as I'm sure it is for you and your husband!

Thanks! I think we're just going to let things go on a "if it happens, then we're ready" basis. No since in causing more stress if I don't get pregnant right away.

I was in the same boat as you  We got married in May and we figured we would conceive when we were meant to conceive.  WELL... we conceived at the beginning of Aug. so we have a May baby on the way!  

I have no advice about your spine or surgery but I think it's a beautiful thing that you're letting conception take it's course.  Good Luck!

Looks like we're in similar boats! I'm TTC and I was born with congenital scoliosis, and I've had spinal fusion surgery twice. I have no idea what to expect with pregnancy and scoliosis, I'm also looking for advice on this subject. GL to you!
