The most important factor here is your age . The fertility is usually reduced with age . So if you accidentally get pregnant then first thing the medications which you r taking are safe or not and then to decide about the continuation of pregnancy. Otherwise if want to plan for it then get your self evaluated for pre conceptional and then go for it

Consult for preconception tests and advise. Your general and reproductive health should be evaluated as pregnancy at this age may be high risk

It may not be safe
Your blood pressure and degenerative disc disorder may worsen
If you don't believe in abortion there are contraceptive options available you can go with them
if you intentionally wish to plan a pregnancy it has to be after detailed evaluation and folic acid supplement should be taken 3 months prior
