    Hi wenglishchick,

    I had a fusion done S1 to L5 and my doctor said it would be fine, as long as I could carry and than it would be bed rest and most likely a c section, I'm pretty sure if your not on any high doses of narcotics too, so its up to and your body. Good luck , and keep up posted if and when the Dr gives u the green light.

    I would really discuss this with your surgeon. Don't forget that when you are carrying a child, it puts extra strain on your back.. I would wait one year after surgery. That's my opinion.. Best of luck!
