I had my two children naturally and honestly did not have any problem at all, in pregnancy or with either birth. In fact with my first child they said that the harrington rods in my back actually helped me strength wise to push my bub out. Since I have had injections into my back to try and help me with the pain, they have not worked as far as getting rid of the pain, but the actual injection part was not a problem. I do wish you all the best and congratulations. I have read a lot on here about rods and delivery and I am sure if you go searching you will find quite a lot on the subject.
Hope all turns out OK for you,

Operated on in 1966, harrington rods inserted from T4 to L3, here in Australia. Fusion of the said vertebrae as well. Problems for the last 14 years with pain.
