Sorry Paulette,
Sometimes, I can be good at causing threads to get off track a little. If my mind serves me right - there was a young lady named Ginger that went to Zeegers like back in 2002? But it seems to me that her mother advocated for her a lot and was on the forums to get info. They were from the South - like Alabama somewhere in there. She was young like early 20's and had a one level replacement. Had a baby like 1-2 years post ADR. I am thinking they were on Back Pain Support and on MGH. The reason I am posting the above info is in hopes that it may possibly help one of the other members remember and who knows, possibly come up with contact info.

I'm not sure if Lor and Ginger or Ginger's mother are the same person (on the forums mentioned) - but could be. Anyways,I know that the real first name of this ADR recipient with successful pregnancy post op was "Ginger".

Maria,
My heart is torn over this - in one way I do and in other ways not so much.

Dearest Ponchita
yes, I think I can understand this~ Since this is no longer an issue for me, I don't really have to put any thought into it, thankfully as I did for so many of my reproductive years while my back was in and out of being bad.. tough call... Best to all who are going this route and surely someone will pop up sooner or later and let us know the status of pregnancy post ADR~ |

I have just read these posts with interest. I'm 33 and developed my back problems whilst pregnant with my first(and only ) child. I'm currently 3 1/2 mths post adr and not out of the woods yet but improving.
If I get back to normal I would love another child and have also wondered about pregnancy post ADR. I think it would be really important for me to have no symptoms though. I had to miss out so much on my little one, as there was so much I couldn't do for her. My plan would be to have a ceaserean DEFINITELY. I would not want to push again (that was what finially finished my back off). I would also take things VERY easy when pregnant and be very kind to my back. I don't know if I will ever get to the stage of feeling able to have another child, but I really hope so. I will watch these postings with interest...

Hi Clare,
you won't remember Lorraine who was a UK patient about two years ago who had two level ADR. She asked Zeegers about this and he said, "wait at least 12 months after your surgery before getting pregnant again". I've not heard from Lorraine for a little while, and wonder if this is caused by the arrival of her first baby. That's all I can tell you, that's what the great man said. Best, Alastair

Clare,
Thanks for sharing you may be a head of me, as I have not had surgery yet. I hope this thread helps others in our same situation and we get to meet someone soon that has or is in the posses of pregnancy after ADR. Time will show us all just what our bodies will be able to handle after ADR. I posed this question to yet another ADR surgeon this last week and he said that every woman that has asked this question to him has gone on to have there children. I hope I do the same. If its Gods will I would love to be our pregnancy ADR poster girl. (Or at least get to practice)
