Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis & Giving Birth Posted: 05-30-04 23:31pm
I had both hips pinned at age 11 and I am
curently 37 weeks pregnant. Seeing my
consultant on wed to review birth options,
any feedback from anyone who has slipped
capital femoral epiphysis and has given
birth gratefully received.
I'd prefer to do things naturally!

I would assume that because of the hip
deformity as a result of the slipped
epiphysys that placing your legs/hips in
the proper position for birth might be
more difficult. Hopefully things were
easy enough for you with delivery. I know
that with my own hips there are just
certain movements, certain ranges of
motion, that I cannot do..Have you had
trouble with your hips since the age of 11
when you've had them pinned?
Take care,
jason

I too have had one of my hips pinned. I
am presently 31 weeks pregnant and have
the same concern. I would like to do
things naturally but also do not want to
jeopardize the health of my new baby.
Did you end up having a c-section due to
the limitation of your hip or did you give
birth vaginally?

hi my name is Lisa and unfortunatley i
suffered the same mishap, i didnt even no
if i could nget pregnant because of my
injury, but now i know it is possible from
reading your post. i recently found out
that i didn't have to do surgery or have a
hip replcacement surgery for that matter.
my friend who also had a slipped epiphysis
went to a chriopractor instead of a
regular doctor and he was,after a few
sessions, able to massage her hip back
into place. she also did some physical
therapy (few sessions that is) to help
regain her flexibility now she is pain
free, dosent have to worry about any
future problems and flexible maybe more
than ever. now thats something your doc
wouldnt tell you, please as if he will
send you to a chriopractor and end up
losing thousands of dollars
