    Are you or do you know anyone with mild cerebral palsy that has a baby? How are they with it?

    I was wondering with myself having cerebral palsy, my right side is weaker than my left and I think about holding the baby and picking a baby up from the cribs and how I cant really do it, i struggle a bit.

    Im worried for the future with my own kids, I want a lot but Im scared with this disability, its gonna put some strain on me but I worry more I might harm the baby accidentally.

    You think I could get help from it? or have different methods of handling it?

    I would think work w/ what you have! I would refer you to an OT professional. But you know your body best. Baby sling comes to mind with regards to carrying baby around...

    There has to be support groups of parents who happen to have CP. Let me know where you go w/ this or if I'm fartin in the wind...
