The doctors advised her not to have children, explained how risky it was for her and how difficult it would be to care for a baby suffering from a disease that has already caused her 42 fractures throughout his life, but she said no, that she did not want to miss the opportunity to be a mother, and now she has finally succeeded.
He is 28 years old, is from China, and suffers from the disease known as "crystal bones", whose real name is osteogenesis imperfecta, which causes it to have incredibly fragile bones because of a collagen deficit.
The doctors did not see a pregnancy viable and even less a birth without there being an excessive risk to their health. And in a way, they were right, because he risked having a broken pelvis during childbirth or a fracture during pregnancy (and after being a mother, of course). However, she had decided to try because, above all, I wanted to be one more, one like the others, and manage to have a child of their own.
I had tried before. She got pregnant but suffered an abortion. He did not give up. With the next pregnancy, her baby was finally born.
When asked about all this, he replied as follows:
Every woman dreams of being a mother, having her own child. I am very happy even though it is very difficult for me ... I have to live my life for myself, despite all the difficulties due to my illness. I want to live like a normal person. That is my goal in life.
Her baby weighed 3 kilos at birth and the birth had no consequences for either of them. Now he has a life ahead of him to dedicate to his son, with the help of his partner, of course, and personally I am sure that everything will be fine. Children are very capable of understanding the differences and abilities and disabilities of their caregivers. Surely he will be able to get there where his mother cannot and sure you will end up being very aware of the risks and care your mother deserves.
