I had spinal fusion back surgery 11/23/2009 is it possible for me to get pregnant? and if so could the tiatanium rods in my back cause any complication? and would a c- section be my only option?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
Your spinal fusion surgery should not pose much risks. When in advanced pregnancy you need to be in constant supervision. As the baby grows the stress on your back will become more which might lead to increase in pain and discomfort. Discuss your pregnancy plans with your gynecologist before going ahead with it to be clear about your options.
Take care.
