herniated disc and pregnant

I have a T11- T12 disc herniation and just found out I am pregnant. I have not been able to loose about 40 pounds from my last pregnancy and am a little overweight even at this time. I am 5 ft 6 in and 165 pounds.

I am not sure if I will be able to manage another ppregnancy in this situation. Please help.

I am in the same boat you are, I have been out of work for 2 years with two discs out.. I had surgery in june for the three discs in my neck that are herniated.  They were fused, you will make it threw this just fine.  I actually feel less pain pg, I was told you produce more hormones to deal with pain, I dont do to much, otherwise I am in pain.. But I get threw each day and take it one day at a time.  I was also the same size you were at the start, I have put on more weight, and alot more than usual due to the fact I cant work out.  So relax, and once you are in your second trimester, you can take pain meds, I am on percocet for the pain and take it when needed to get threw the hard times..
