Should Disabled Women Become Mothers

May 18, 2005 -- Although many women experience social pressure to have children, the opposite is true for disabled women, who are often pressured not to have children. Is it wrong for disabled women to act on their natural instincts to be mothers What challenges are likely to affect their bodies during pregnancy What happens if the child they have is also disabled And how can a disabled person effectively parent a baby or toddler

These are some of the questions author Judith Rogers, a disabled mother of two, will address in her new book The Disabled Woman's Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, as she raises the seldom-discussed issues of mothers with disabilities.

Rogers, who interviewed 90 disabled women about their pregnancies for her book, will reveal:

- Surprising insights - including that most disabled women experience remission of their symptoms during pregnancy and describe the same discomforts able-bodied women report.
- Tips on finding a supportive doctor and eating right.
- Ingenious solutions for common pregnancy problems such as sleeping on satin sheets to avoid leg cramps.
- And more.

Empathetic, balanced, comprehensive, and practical, this is the only book that answers critical questions and provides guidance for the woman with a disability facing one of the biggest challenges of her life!

The Disabled Woman's Guide to Pregnancy and Birth is published by Demos Medical Publishing, distributed by SCB Distributors, and is also available through Amazon.com BarnesandNoble.com and many other major bookstores.
