Don't Tell her No, SMA and Pregnancy: Sarah's Story

If I had to use one word to describe today’s guest i’d say driven, or maybe fierce--truly, and maybe it’s because of these personal attributes that her life in the world doesn’t match the predictions you might make if you looked at her health status on paper. She was born with a neurodegenerative disease that dramatically affected her mobility--she’s never walked and has been wheelchair bound for almost her whole life...and despite the challenges this kind of condition invites, she’s a school psychologist and importantly for this podcast, had a baby. In general, in the medical community, time and time again doctors have told me that pregnancy is an enormous stress test on anyone’s body--to have her condition and successfully manage a pregnancy is next level. And although lots of people enter pregnancy underestimating how it will effect their body, today’s guest had no such luxury.
