Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
Disc prolapse with pregnancy will cause an increase in backache both during the pregnancy and after delivery. It should not create any problem in normal delivery. But if the ceasarean section is needed, anaesthetist might prefer a general anaesthesia rather than a spinal block.
