Hi.

Your pain must be around L5-S1 as there is no L6. Yes, pregnancy will of course be possible but I would recommend including an orthopedician into your circle of doctors to help guide and monitor you through your pregnancy.

A little support, posture improvements and exercises should help make it easier, although being frank here, you will experience pain.

Best wishes.
