Hey there Mary. I cannot gel specifically with your condition but with pregnant and disability I certainly can. I depends on what you would like help with. I am now a bi-lateral above knee amputee, but had pregnancies and obviously births with my two youngest kids, now aged 4 and 5. By the sixth month of pregnancy, I had to reside myself to the chair for the most part, but if I wanted to bathe in the upstairs bathroom or do jobs around the house, I still had to get there! I used to take it turns to wear each leg and otherwise flop around on crutches...and yes I mean heavy and unbalanced up the stairs!! It's all perfectly do-able but obviously it is particularly harder work than usual. Hope this helps a little. If there is anything else specific you would like to ask about, pre or post birth, please private message me or speak here and I will gladly help if I can. Welcome to you anyhow. This is a great forum and everyone helps everyone here.
