I have 3 herniated discs in my lower back. They are torn and extruded. I am pretty much in pain from it 24/7. Has anyone given birth with herniated discs? Any problems, things to be aware of? Has anyone had to have a csection because of herniated discs? Thanks in advance!
I had one at L5-S1 that I had surgery on several years before getting pregnant. I had to meet with the anesthesia team at the hospital before going into labor to make sure I could get an epidural. I also had to be induced and it was a long process and I could only get out of bed to use the restroom. Spending so much time in bed was painful on my back. Good luck to you!
I had a microdiskectomy at L5-S1 about 8 yrs ago and am expecting my first baby in April. The doctor mentioned meeting with the anesthesia team - what did they advise you? I'm curious about what my options may be.

Meeting with the anesthesia team in advance hasn't been mentioned yet. . . . i'll have to inquire. It makes sense though.
I have three herniated discs in lower back and epidural didn't work for me, I had to go natural...trust me, I prayed for it to work considering it was my second child! Now I'm pregnant with #3 and im still gonna request epidural again.
