Hi Ladies, I wonder if anyone can help?
I'm expecting baby 2 in March, but as my DS arrived 2 months early, I'll be on maternity leave in Jan. At the moment the hubby stays home and looks after our son (who's 2.5), but he'll need to go back to work as soon as I go on leave, so we can eat etc.
This is all somewhat complicated by DS being disabled (he has CP and limited mobility). At the moment he is approx half my height and weighs 13.6 kg. As part of the CP he has low muscle tone and cannot support his weight well, so if you carry him or push him in his pushchair you have to manage a lot of inert weight too.
I'm having trouble managing DS now at 19 weeks pregnant and cannot push him long distances or carry him upstairs, and I will be contraindicated from carrying him at all by 28 weeks, in case it brings on labour. Can anyone suggest any care agencies we mght be able to access? DS has to get to nursery 2x a week and physio once a week as well as visual, audiology and other appointments.
(We're currently in Lewisham, SE London)
