Hi there,
I have understood your concern.

Please do not worry.
Follow proper physiotherapy, adopt correct posture.
Have proper calcium , protein, vitamin D intake.
You can safely become pregnant, and carry the pregnancy to term.
During pregnancy also, please follow proper physiotherapist advice.
This will help you not to worsen your existing problem.

I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake; say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.
Avoid substance abuse, if any.
Start on FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
