" im sorry but i dont really know the answer this question, but my feeling is yes you will be able to have children and a natural brith, i am having the surgery soon and they havent told me about not being able to have children, and also your doesnt sound very serious if you dont need surgery so thats a good thing! so if you dont need it and i havent heard of no one being able to have children due to scolosis and thats the kinda thing they wud talk about for sure.
im here if you need any help or support :)

" I have had 3 children. I am 34 and was diagnosed at 12. Mine were c-sections because of short umbilical cords, but I would have had natural if not for that. "
