Hi friends.
Having a rod in femar since7 years.and pregnant now.happy but so confuse.kindly if someone have such experience plz share.will it be complicated for baby n delivery.
Waiting for ur replies.
I wouldn't think there would be a single problem. BUT you might want to talk to an orthopedic doc and ask them about stirrups and pushing. I would think they would be able to advise whether you should have a C-section or not.
This is a question for your doctor. Your leg is not your pelvis, but if there are connection points with the rod and the pelvis, I could see that being maybe being an issue .
Talk to your doctor. They will take this into account. The rod is NOT going to block the birth canal or anything. It's probably more a question of bone strength for your leg and pelvis. Your doctors should have your surgical records and can plan accordingly.
I have no idea why you would think having a pin in your femur would effect pregnancy or delivery. Talk to your doctor, they can explain it to you with pictures even.
discuss thins concern with your ob. they know the risks of pregnancy and delivery.
S.,
Welcome to mamapedia.
What does a rod in your leg have to do with your pregnancy?
Why haven't you spoken to your doctor about this?
What exactly are your concerns? Your baby will come out from your uterus, through the cervical canal through your vagina. Your legs will be spread and not in the way. Even if you're going to be giving birth "doggie style" - which seems to be a new way of delivering - your rod in your leg is not an issue.
your femur doesn't impact your uterus.
your OB should be able to address any concerns you have about your leg getting in the way during delivery.

Come again? See your OBGYN
I haven't had that experience and haven't heard of anyone - sorry.
I had complications delivering babies - best person to ask (everyone's situation is unique) is your OBGYN. That gave me peace of mind and we had a plan.
It shouldn't be an issue.
It might be a concern if you had ever had a broken tail bone or anything in your pelvis that might interfere with where the baby comes through but the femur is out of the way of that.
Talk with your ob/gyn.
Congratulations!
Talk to your doctor.

You should talk to your doctor.
I'm not an orthopedist or an obstetrician, but I'd suggest you go to the website of the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons. I imagine it would depend on where the rod is. If you had a fractured femur, and the rod is not near the hip, I wonder if that would be a very different answer than if you have had a hip replacement with a femoral head (including the extension rod going into your femur). I can see hip impairment having a possible role during some deliveries, but of course you should investigate this with both your orthopedic and obstetrical specialists.
