I am 21 weeks & have an S-curve that bothers me enough to have a prescription for codeine (It'd be a much stronger med if it was up fo me!) I'm off it now that I'm pregnant & I suffer, but it's tolerable suffering for now.

I was wondering what others' experiences were later in pregnancy... just the thought of lying in a hospital bed for long periods of time scares me (that's a big pain trigger for me).

1. How did you manage your pain during pregnancy?

2. Was the third trimeester extremely painful?

3. Did scoliosis influence your birth plan or complicate your labour in anyway?

4. Did you get an epidural?

A. If yes, did it have any negative effects?

B. If no, did you go natural or have something else for pain?

5. How was your scoliosis after pregnancy?
