Im looking for a bit of advice as I have recently found out that my girlfriend is pregnant, which makes me very happy but Iam also very sad on the other hand as I do not know if in 6 months form now I will be much use to them. I have known my girlfriend for 10 years but we only got together when i got my 75% diagnoses in June 08 so on top of my illness, getting together, talk of moving in together and now a baby she is freaking out as she does not know what is around the corner in regards to my illness, well we both do roughly but have ignorred it and got on with things.
Is there any one out there with ALS that has recently had a child?and if so how are they coping at the minute I can still walk very slowly. my left side is weak and my speech is very slurred. I suppose the question Iam asking is would I be able to cope with looking after a baby?
Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Alastair
