I've been on this app for a while, I'm just building up the courage to share my story. My name is Tiara I'm 27 years old I have 3 beautiful kids two girls and a boy and I also was born with Cerebral Palsy. I was born a preemie at 7 months I think I was about two pounds and I had to stay in the hospital until I gained the weight to come home. When my mom went into labor with me she went to the Hospital leaking fluid and all they did was put her on bed rest the three days, they decided to get the birthing process started so for 3 days I was in my mom with amniotic fluid leaking out my cerebral palsy is the cause of lack of oxygen to the brain. My mom did not find out about my cerebral palsy until I was about 2 because I wouldn't hitting normal milestones baby should when I was 2 years old I was crawling instead of walking I've had surgeries on my legs wore braces used a wheelchair until I had my first child then I started using my Walker because we all know you can't push the stroller and a wheelchair at the same time. lol Fast forward to the present I struggle with my cerebral palsy everyday not being accepted by people because of my cerebral palsy the only thing that doesn't really work is my legs I can walk but not for a long period of time. sometimes I relied on a walker, I know I will be disabled for the rest of my life and sometimes that's a hard pill to swallow but I'm here and I could have died at Birth but by the grace of the heavens I made it 27 years. I just wanted to share my story with moms who have preemie babies or the moms who are worried about something being wrong with their babies every baby is normal, despite for being born full term or a preemie. In all honesty I'm just ready to accept myself how I want other people to accept me that's another reason why I shared my story with you moms on this app. I'm not seeking attention or sympathy I just want to start telling my story and accepting myself for who I truly am. Thanks for reading!!

My fiance was a preemie. We used to joke when I was pregnant that if the baby made it to 29 weeks than he'd have been cooking inside longer than my fiance!

Oh, you're welcome! I really hope this app, and all the awesome women in here, help you!

@nomli lol now that's funny he has a great sense of humor. I can't lie and say I wasn't scared when I was pregnant with all three of mine because I always thought that that could be a possibility of me having a preemie but I was fortunate to carry my kids until 39 weeks and passed lol. I've even experienced a natural birth with no epidural no nothing lol never again

@nomli I hope so too,we moms stick together right?

Oh wow, that's amazing! I could not have gone without an epidural. Well, I had a c-section so of course I couldn't have haha. I was always worried about premature labor, and while joking about it helped, I knew that if it happened it wasn't the end of the world.

We should all stick together!

@nomli when I first started dating my boyfriend at the time he was like will the baby come out with cerebral palsy, because you have it you. know there's a lot of people are not educated on what cerebral palsy is so they automatically think that is genetic or hereditary,Or they'll think that your mentally disabled I went through that a lot in school and thats what made me want to basically hide myself because of the negativity just surrounding the fact that I have cerebral palsy. my dating life before my fiance was basically non-existent because once they found out that I had cerebral palsy they wouldn't want to talk to me anymore smh so I used to go through a lot of heartbreak. Now I'm just tired of hiding myself this is who I am I have a disability but I am not my disability.
