Hey lovely members.

Just wondering if anybody on here has existing back problems and then gone on to have a baby. I have had 2 Nerve root blocks in my back, the last one was 3 years ago. I have currently started to suffer with back pain again right at the time that me and my fiance have decided to try for a baby.

I have been told i will need to wait 40weeks until i will be able to have a injection (may next year) do you think i should just try get pregnant and manage 9 months of pain or should i hold off and wait.

Would really appreciate your feedback if you too have slipped discs.

Thanks

    I dont have the back issues you do, but I have noticed that I suffer so much more back pain now that I am pregnant. I went from having no problems to now I cant stand for more than 10 minutes without my whole thigh going numb from the pinching in my sciatica.

    Of course talk to you doctor. There mare be modifications that they can set up for you or intensive physical therapy.

    I wish you the best of luck.

    I guess your in the US, we dont get treatmentin the UK like you guys do. I went to see my doctor and she just said you need physio! I dont trust physios after being mis-diagnoised for 6 years.

    Im scared because I already have pain am i going to be like literally crippled? Didnt really want to have to wait 5 more months to start trying tough
