Chiari malformation type 1

Nicole

Anyone here with Chiari? I've had two decompression brain surgeries, when I was 14 and when I was 21. Before my second surgery I developed a number of large syrinxs on my spinal cord causing me to start to lose feeling and function on my right side. I'm symptom free now and I'd like to keep it that way so I'm choosing to have a csection. I'm hoping my symptoms aren't triggered throughout the pregnancy. My worst fear is having something go wrong and needing another brain surgery, keeping me from taking care of my baby.. or god forbid having to deliver early and putting my baby at risk!
