A little more on my questions to Dr. B.
This is what I asked Dr. B., but if anyone has any additional questions, I can always ask those questions to Dr. Yue.
My question(s) is(are) about becoming pregnant after ADR surgery, specifically a 3-level ADR.
1. is it possible to carry a baby to term and if so, how long do you have to wait to try/become pregnant?
2. is any special care needed during the pregnancy e.g., bed rest during the last trimester?
3. is a natural, vaginal birth possible with the normal pushing that is needed or is a cesarean section automatically done?
4. after the baby is born, does an ADR woman need to wear her brace again as she did post-op to make sure discs are properly positioned after the load of the fetus? If so, for how long?
So, if there are any other questions people would like to have answered, you can let me know here or send me a PM and I will take those with me to my appointment with Dr. Yue on Aug. 17th and get back to everyone afterwards.
Thanks!!
JULIE
