I am no expert, but I have spondylolisthesis. Grade one anterolisthesis associated with bilateral L5 spondylolisis and mild scoliosis. I have an 18 month old and gave birth naturally. It was very painful, all of my pain was in my back and nowhere else. Having said that, I got through it all without an epidural and once my baby was born the pain stopped. I have experienced more back pain since having my daughter than I did before I had her, however this is because my core muscles & abdominals are not as strong as they used to be. It is not related to the birth. I have had follow up x-rays and there is no further slippage.
