Best regards

Hi,i saw your history your spine looks little bad for your age.but you dont have to worry about that this is just a wear and tear of your spine and bad spinal posture because of pregnancy.
you can do gentle exercise of back without compressing your tummy.
you can go for normal labour.
consult your gynecologist before taking any medication.
Thanks.
