Any things in reference to what? Sleeping, eating, etc? (And congrats!)

You might find this article helpful, it has a list of items that could help make life easier when baby arrives. Congrats! https://www.themobilityresource.com/blog/post/10-amazing-products-for-parents-with-disabilities/

Thank you

I have to first say congratulations and I wish you all the best of luck with this first pregnancy. I would recommend the bassinet that has the wheels so baby can just be rolled to bed. I would also just have everything already beside your bed or at your reach. Diapers, wipes, all that good stuff.

Definitely a baby wrap to have a baby close to you at all times with both free hands x

Thank you

Congrats! Again, probably a sling would be best so you wouldn’t have to push the buggy, a good changing bag, maybe a bag pack? Or something that can hang at the side of your wheelchair? x

First congratulations!!! So happy for you, I was looking at some items and they have a device. Called the lapbaby that allows the mother to carry the baby on the lap and still use their wheelchair !

Thank you all very helpful just wanted to see what people thought I’m very happy but also nervous cus of Covid-19 just wanted to get as organised as I can be Any advice welcome thank you

Congrats!!! I recommend renting a SNOO crib, for the first 6 months -it’s great and will definitely make night times easier as it will gently rock the baby back to sleep. Initially you will have to feed baby every couple of hours, but from 3 - 6 months they should be able to sleep longer stretches at night, then their night time wakings are usually just fussiness not hunger- the SNOO will definitely reduce the amount of times you need to see to your baby by at least twice a night.

Congrats Im disabled too. Having help and the baby sling really helped me

Hi! My husband is a T4 para.. we have many friends of different levels. First off, we have an accessible crib that my father in law made so that my husband could roll under the crib to get to our son. If you have a bit of arm strength, look up “snugglbubdle” I will post pics of these

Yes I am a disabled parent and I did research on the tools available for people like us for 2 years before getting pregnant

The crib the crib Danielle sent a picture of is called the Gerty crib

It's like 3 grand but if you contact the company the owner is willing to work out payment plans
