Hello,
A genetic testing of your blood sample is required to check whether you are sickle cell carrier or not.
Scoliosis is not a contraindication for pregnancy. Difficult delivery must be anticipated and a good quality centre must be preferred for delivery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
