Hi everyone,
I'm 28 now, and my partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for a while... Now I have a progressive muscle disease and use an electric wheelchair, and I've been to the hospital a lot, but they didn't have much experience with it either. The phrase "what if... complications arise, and then what?" came up a lot... It's very uncertain, and no one knows how everything will turn out. I still feel strong and fit, and I think I can handle it for now. I ovulated and I'm a week late, so we took a test this morning, and yes, two lines! My heart skipped a beat, and I didn't know what to feel—happy, scared, and unsure. It's going to be an exciting time!

Hi Eva,
Wow, that sounds so exciting! And of course, congratulations!
I see it was a conscious choice between you and your partner... you're going for it and you feel good about it. That's important! The rest can't be predicted... I really hope everything goes well for you... it's your right to enjoy this. Try to enjoy the moment, because anxiety and stress aren't good -

Try to do as many fun things as possible so I don't keep getting stressed out. -

My mom just found out about my pregnancy... she's really sad now and thinks it's so sad that I let this happen with my disability, I'm being irresponsible... Nice to have a mom like that -snik- -

My mom just found out about my pregnancy... she's really sad and thinks it's tragic that I let this happen with my disability, I'm being irresponsible... Nice to have a mom like that -sniff- -

Oh girl, you don't mean... that's not the reaction you want from your own mother
Maybe she just needs to get used to the idea? Didn't she think this was a real wish of yours? I hope she comes around and supports you! Because you can definitely use some support 
give it some time... even though that's hard... when you have good news, you expect a nice reaction from your mother too.
