Will chondromalacia patella cause any complication during pregnancy and delivery?

Hello doctor,

I am a 33-year-old female. I have mild knee pain for the past six months to one year while working for long hours. No constant continuous pain. But I have discomfort while bending or sitting down for a long time and climbing stairs. I am suddenly getting some discomfort like something dislocating while walking. For one year, I started with a mild cracking sound, the clicking and cracking sound is there always while bending or squatting. I am taking collagen powder and I took an X-ray. My questions are: chondromalacia patella will go away on its own? How long it will take to heal or recover fully? Will stretch exercise and hot bag alone cure this? Doctor prescribed Repacoll bioactive collagen peptides, how many months do I need to take it? Please give your advice to heal completely asap. We are planning for a second kid, will this create a problem (excess knee pain) during pregnancy period? And during delivery (labor or c-section) will it give any complications?
