Woman With Dwarfism Braves The Beach To Show Off Her Baby Bump
Her daughters, who were two years old and four years old both have one of the two types of dwarfism. When she got pregnant with the third child, they wanted to find out which of the four possibilities the baby had.
She explained it in this way:
1. We would have a baby of average height
2. Our baby would have Achondroplasia, the same form of Dwarfism as me.
3. Our baby would have Geleophysic Dysplasia, the same form of Dwarfism as Cullen.
4. Our baby would inherit both genetic variations, know as “double dominant dwarfism”, which from all professional medical evaluations would be fatal upon birth. I would have had the choice should this occur to carry on and see how things go, or to terminate the pregnancy.
She also said that they received a lot of criticism for sharing their life publicly but she said that having babies with those odds and sharing that piece of the puzzle with others is all about being kind.
This couple now has three beautiful children who are doing well and the family is still sharing information on social media. We hope that they have many years of happiness together.
