Now in past you had surgery for scolisis n having metal road still in spine...
That cause difficulty in progression as during pregnancy uterus size n weight increase n that cause load on your spine...
So may be that metal road cannot bear that load or your spine may become more scoliotic...
But theis teg can be put only after one examination of your spine for spine strength by your orthopedic...
I think you passed surgery at tge age of 12 n now 12-13 year has gone so may be your spine get proper strength n your orthopedician will allow pregnancy...but there is some more risk of reoccurance than normal person...
So i suggest one visit to your orthopedic surgon...
