I am 36 1/2 weeks pregnant, I was in a head on car accident a year ago and have several herniated discs from my neck to my lower back, as well as tears and bulging discs, when the pelvis opens for the baby, and all the pushing you do durring labor cause the discs more herniation and give me more pain and trouble then i already have?

I imagine it would. I have crushed and displaced disks in my back and my doctor has recommended I not have children to prevent aggravation of my condition.

The labor may be more painful. I would check on getting an epidural. After delivery though there will be less stress on your back so you should have a little less trouble. I hope all goes well for you.

July 13 2013 but only 5% arrive on their due dates. I think it will be late.

I suppose it could but it's too late to turn back now. I would think that carrying around the weight would be a problem for your back also. Good luck.

YES THIS CAN HINDER YOUR DELIVERY PROCESS AND CAUSE MORE INJURY TO YOUR BACK,HAVE YOU TALKED THIS OVER WITH YOUR DOCTOR , MY FRIEND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HER SPINAL SURGEON WOULD NOT ALLOW HER VAGINAL BIRTH SO SHE HAD AN C-SECTION. YOU WILL BE ENOUGH PAIN WITH OUT ADDING TO IT.
