Any Pregnant Mamas have a child with special needs?

This isn't going to be a stress free pregnancy for me. I knew the odds going into it, but it doesn't make it any easier that I am at risk for having another child with special needs.

Anyone else?

Sure! No problem.

LMC - Lipomyelomeningocele
TCS - Tethered Cord Syndrome (spinal)
AFO - Ankle Foot Orthotic (right foot)
KAFO - Knee Ankle Foot Orthotic (left leg...has no feeling or movement mid shin down on this leg)

She also has a Neurogenic Bladder (I cath her 3 x day and is on Ditropan) and most likely a Neurogenic Bowel. We won't know on that till she starts talking and using the potty on her own.
