Q: Bad Back, Should I Conceive?

Hello everyone!

My husband and I are thinking of trying for a baby but i'm very worried as I have an extremently bad lower back. Not just your typical back pain, but my back will go out about twice a month for about a week just from turning the wrong way, sitting too fast, getting off the toilet wrong, things like that, and the pain is so bad I have to stay in bed for a week because I can barely walk or bend over. I have been to chiropractors, massage therapist, tried yoga, you name it, i've done it. Nobody has been able to tell me what's wrong. So i'm very nervous to even try and carry an extra 15 pounds around in my stomach in fear of being bed ridden for nine months ( which is not healthy for me or the baby) not to mention what shape my back will be in after birth or how big I would get from just laying around for nine months. Am I crazy to not want to carry my own pregnancy? My husband just doesn't seem to understand this problem. Any suggestions would be so helpfull. I'm even contemplating using a surrogate or adopting! I really want a child in the future but i'm so scared!
Help!

Vanessa.

You should talk to your doctor about this. Whatever you do, be sure to be true to yourself.

Good luck!
