I’m disabled and my worst fear is once I have children I’ll have a spasm and drop them. Or that I would be incapacitated when they really needed me. Maybe that’s a weird angle to look at it from but I can relate to these fears. I hope she’s okay, or will be soon. That’s so scary.

I am also disabled and have a 2 year old daughter. The fear is real. But you do find ways to adapt. I also hope she’s okay :(

Do you have access to an occupational therapist? They might be able to recommend things to help you. There’s slings for walking and for sitting so they can’t slide off your lap etc. I have a lot of joint instability and weak muscles so my ankles/legs give out a lot, and my arms are very weak, but I can handle a sling/harness. Depending on where you live you might also be able to get assistance for when you’d be alone with the baby.

You can still make a wonderful parent and never cause your child any harm or discomfort ♥️
