Is Natural Birth Possible With Spondylolisthesis?

I have a back condition called spondylolisthesis, its only stage 1 but I was told growing up that I would most likely not be able to give natural birth and that if my back slipped any further that it wouldn't stop and I would be paralized. Well now my doctor thinks I should try natural instead of getting a c-section and I'm scared that if I do that my back will start to slip farther and not stop. How can I get my doctors to do a c-section?

Hello,

Please do not fear.Even in routine OPD we treat grade 1 spondylolisthesis conservatively.We just advise precautions and some exercises for such cases.Consult to your gynecologist and learn some strengthening exercises for your back.

Avoid walking ,forward bending or sitting for long time..If possible an appropriate abdomen support may be helpful for you.This should be selected under your doctor supervision.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
