The Disabled Mother's Guide to Pregnancy and Birth

Being both a mother and a woman with a disability - for several years I have faced many challenges. I have dealt with the onset of two neurological conditions whilst being pregnant with my daughter who is now nine years old. I then went on to have my youngest son (three years old) and recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl (4 months old.) After conducting much research I have come to learn that though there are support groups and online communities - which undoubtedly for many provide a beacon of hope friendship and ongoing support - there are very few publications written for the disabled mother in mind and the recent ones I have come across(post 1990-7) appear to be mainly in the US. I wanted to write a more up-to date book easily accessible relevant affordable and most importantly written with the British mother/to be in mind. My name is Natalie Otley and this is my guide to everything you need to know about pregnancy with disability.
