Bulging discs.. will i have to have a c-sections?

jordan

So i’ve had bulging discs in my lower spine for 10years (now 26). L4/5 and S1 more recently. I am currently 16weeks pregnant and due in July. I haven’t had any appointments yet to be able to ask the doctors if i will be able to carry fullterm or not as i really don’t want my back to fu*k up more than it is! You only get one!!

Has anyone on here had bulging discs prior to pregnancy or something similar? I know i might have to go on mat leave earlier as i don’t know if my back will be able to take the weight and carry on working (as a teacher you move around alot).

Any advice or similar stories would really help me! Thank you :)
