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. Join the hosts, Dr. Rafe Biggs, Deborah Davis, Hector DelValle, and Ligia Andrade Zuniga by viewing the video HERE.

The video is produced by the folks at Sustain Our Abilities, an online resource for people living with disabilities to receive & share information about successful living, and is part of their interactive program focusing on sexuality and SCI. This 40-episode series features Dr. Marcalee Alexander along with Dr. Rafe Biggs, Deborah Davis, Hector DelValle, and Ligia Andrade Zuniga. While the focus of the series is primarily about these disabilities, the information presented is useful to persons with disability, their partners, health care professionals and the general public. You can also find many others on the subject of sexuality and disability on their channel HERE.
