Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since you already have a degenerative disc disease, you are more likely to have a back pain during pregnancy due to an extra weight on the spine. In case C- section is needed, epidural anaesthesia will be the best one for you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
