Hi,
I'd really like to be a mum someday . I have spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy , hydrocephalus and I'm registered blind. I'm reliant on an electric wheelchair to get around . I was born at 29 weeks and was a twin . I take 1 and a half Baclofen tablets 3 times a day . I was taking 2 tablets 3 times a day but I've started reducing it already. I also take 50-100mg of Tramadol daily. My fiancée and I am really wanting to be parents. He's able bodied. Does anyone here know how much Baclofen (if any) it's safe to take actually during the pregnancy as I don't want to harm the baby. I'd be really grateful for advice as we'll be first time parents. I'd also really like to know experiences of anybody here with my conditions or other disabilities who are, or want to be parents. I don't know anyone with a disability who's a parent.
