EVERLASTING LOVE: pregnancy & having kids after a spinal cord injury
While the path to getting pregnant and delivering a baby for a woman with a spinal cord injury is not very predictable and offers additional challenges, there is every reason to believe that it is possible. In this 24-minute session, the hosts are joined by Dr. Melina Longoni to discuss important considerations around pregnancy and having kids for those with spinal cord injuries. She is originally from Argentina specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Hyperbaric Medicine, Wound Care and Natural Therapies.
