it is not he rule that normal delivery can not occur but yes if their is major change in spinal alignment then it can cause problem during normal labor. I would suggest you to meet a orthopaedic surgeon and get x ray of your spine. And if he says that there is no problem in labor then you can tell to your gynecologist. I would also suggest you to take second opinion from gynecologist also.
