Is Pregnancy Advisable While Having Scoliosis Condition And Sickle Cell Trait?
I am 19, 5 weeks pregant and have a scoliosis condition and my boyfriend has sickle cell trait. I am not sure if I plan to continue the pregnancy and my boyfriend thinks it best we do not. Want to know how the 2 conditions may affect the pregnancy and unborn child.

Hello,
A genetic testing of your blood sample is required to check whether you are sickle cell carrier or not.
Scoliosis is not a contraindication for pregnancy. Difficult delivery must be anticipated and a good quality centre must be preferred for delivery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
