Being pregnant with a disability.?

I was born with cerebral palsy. I was very scared about being pregnant. Although my cerebral palsy is mild it does affect me. I have not been able to exercise like some pregnant woman during pregnancy. I have been able to stick to my physical therapy. I have gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy, and because of that I have pulled muscles walking up stairs, and my knee has given out on me. My first pregnancy was a miscarriage. I was worried that I would not be able to carry until full term. Making it this far has made me feel good about myself. I am way more confident. Does anyone else know someone with a disability that is pregnant, or has been?
