Didn't want to read and run.

I'm not disabled, but Kayleigh's dad is so I have experience with someone with a disability and a small baby.

it's sort of weird, cause there's forums for my disability, there's forums for pregnancy and parenting so obviously there's people I can speak to on both, but I can't find any where for disabled and pregnant... not in a nasty way but sometimes I feel a little isolated, - does that make sense?

Need some cheeky replies for ignorant people who make rude comments when I start showing though, lol...any suggestions?

Does Kayleigh's Dad get any funny remarks from ignorant people when he's out with her? How does he react hun?

That makes complete sense hun. I felt totally isolated when we were together and Kayleigh was little. I could never ever get any time alone as he couldn't cope with Kayleigh at all. So she came with me everywhere and no-one seemed to understand how tied down that made me feel. I couldn't even go out after she was asleep, as if she woke up, he couldn't get her out of her cot.

Hmm, cheeky replies?? I'm sure there's a couple of people on here who could come up with some good ones for you..... Jase...... Dan...???????

As for the comments when he is out with Kayleigh, well, that never happens. We split when she was little, and he only sees her about 3 times a year. He turns up in his mobility car, drives her to his flat, and then the only time they leave the house until she comes home is to walk downstairs to the social club where everyone knows him anyway. And when we were together, he didn't leave the house. So, sorry, but I can't help you with that one hun.

Loving your work Sian!!!

Minxy - can I ask a personal question? How does your disability manifest itself physically? I mean, how can people tell just by looking at you?

Tell me to piss off if I'm being too nosey!! I won't be offended.

hehe Sian

DH thinks we should do a role play thing, for a laugh, when they tyut and say "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee disabled and pregnant!" lol, he's gonna say "what? You're pregnant!? How did that happen! Your disabled and disabled people don't have sex!" lol

Could You imagine!? I think I'll fall outta me fluffy pink chair and roll around the floor laughing! lol

*******************************************************

Oh Amanda, that's so sad hun. You know, he could've had his OT gat a cot that he could manage to open and stuff himself you know, - that's what I'm doing. Yes I feel crap about it, but if it means I can get my baby out of the cot myself, surely that can only be a good thing!
