Spine Surgery before Pregnancy
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has had a spine surgery, I had a double laminectomy discectomy on my L4 and L5s1 3 years ago and I am now 26 weeks preggo. I'm wondering if you were able to get an epidural, if you hurt your back pushing, or if you were able to opt for a csection?
I know.. run on sentences. :\
Thanks :)

According to an article on NCBI website it is safe to have an epidural after spinal surgery. I would still discuss it with your doctor though. Hope this helps.
