I was in a car accident when I was 17 my spinal cord was completely severed, at 19 I had my first and only child, now I'm a proud 55yr old Mother and grandmother of 3 I've been so blessed and continue to be blessed.
Thank you for sharing your story Loretta! We hope you enjoyed the episode and glad to have you as part of our community!

Your babies are so adorable. And you are also very blessed. May God continúe to bless you and your amazing family.
Loretta Baca she was climbing a tree!! What the heck?!!
+Heather Quinn what's your point? ??????
Heather Quinn
What the heck!! does my comment have to do with her climbing a tree?
I understand the concern for the baby necks but also recognize and validate what an exceptionally strong woman who has worked hard to compensate for her disability. She's an inspiration!
As a woman in a wheelchair, I have wondered about becoming a mother and how I would be able to navigate through it. Thank you for this piece. I just really wish people would not be so critical of her as she is a new mother of twins and that is a lot for an able bodied individual so I xan only imagine how difficult it is for her. Give her a break... She is just figuring things out and what works best for her and her babies. Stop trying to impress your personal experience as a parent without disabilities onto a person with disabilities. The situation is never going to be the same in how you will be able to execute every-day task. It's hard enough being a person with disabilities in a world where people look down on you figuratively and literally; but to be criticized for just trying to live...this piece was meant to be inspirational. It gave me hope that even though I am disabled, I too, can become a mother and it will be OK. But it also showed me that no matter how good your intentions are there will always be people judging and criticizing your every move. But thank you, Attitude, for the video!!!
Thanks for watching Natural2BMii, glad to hear you enjoyed and were able to get something out of it 😊
Thank you for this comment. 💓 I totally agree! What do you think would help you handle parenting with a disability? I’m looking into it myself.
You'll be an AMAZING Mum!!!
Thank you for your message. I too am disabled and a wheelchair user. I also want to have a child one day... I worry about how I will be able to carry and how I'll manage as a parent. This video also gave me hope that it can be a possible future for us to have.
Nobody is even talking down on her everyone is saying how great of a mother she is but she needs to try and support the babies heads better not giving their heads support can actually kill them cuz their necks can break from that think about it before you say anyone is talking down cuz not one comment I saw was talking down to her
I wish there was an updated video on this beautiful family.
I was born with spina bifida so I have been disabled my whole life, but the one thing I was always sure of was that I wanted a family. I only had one, but she was born with ADHD, so that is kind of like having two because Payton climbed the walls, almost literally 24/7. My husband decided he had had enough after two years, so I became a single Parent. This brings back so very many memories! My daughter will be 21 next month, so we made it even with all the ups and downs, and I would not do one thing any different. My daughter is my angel from heaven and a complete blessing. It was not easy, but it was so worth it! Those who are criticizing the way she picks them up. Piss me off! Babies are NOT as fragile as one might think. How dare you criticize her! She is doing a job that 99.9 percent of people would not even have the balls to try to do. She loves her babies and nothing else she can give them is more important then that. My daughter is 20 years old and I feel quite sure that she would tell you that she feels blessed to have the Mother she had. I can also promise you that she is more compassionate and caring then anyone who would bitch about their heads bobbing a little. DO NOT CAST STONES UNLESS YOU HAVE LIVED IN THAT GLASS HOUSE. I HAVE LIVED IN IT and we have enough issues to deal with without having to deal with hate from the internet by people who do not even know us.
Thank you for that! Babies are very resilient!
You sound ignorant
just because you’re disabled doesn’t mean you’re above criticism
It's OK. Everybody has said what a wonderful mother this woman is...it brings back memories of having little babies at home...worth EVERYTHING! But we are just suggesting, as it is medically advised, for her to probably support the children's heads, that 's all. Hardly something to get upset about.
Support of babies heads is vital. It's not because she in a wheelchair that people are commenting the same would be said to anyone. She is a loving caring mum but we all need bit of advice in the difficult world of parenting especially x2
This is fantastic. I am a paraplegic mother too and yes it is very challenging doing everything seated but it is worth it. keep up the good work wheelchair moms and everybody else...
Thanks for watching Patience Zinza, hope you enjoyed it 😊
She’s always laughing 😁 always with a smile on her face.
I would love to see an update later in their life just to see how the family is doing
what a awesome family I'm glad I can watch their story. I had a full knee replacement what was down to cancer at the age of 19. now 4 years on I'm still cancer free.
Thanks for the support and glad to hear you are doing well Christina!! Thanks again for watching
5 months ago I had a catastrophic accident in my dodge ram truck. I also broke back in 2 places. 4th and 5th vert. brain bleed 9 day's. nose broken 2 places. chin 2 places. .lower jaw.. upper jaw no longer attached to skull. and skull broken in 3 places and right eye was torn open so bad that they had to use crazy glue to close it . unconscious 2.5 days then 3 days l8r in hospital I lost 40% of my blood internally and needed emergency blood transfusion. . and I've got not a mark or serious damage whatsoever. . nothing like this poor girl. watching stories like this really opens my eyes about everyone always telling me that I'm lucky to be alive. . but I'm always thinking how damn lucky I am. yes I need a chair after 15 mins on my feet. but hopefully that'll change once my back finally heals. .. God bless this beautiful girl and her beautiful family
Wishing you all the best Caryn! Glad to hear you enjoyed our documentary! 😃
Caryn Langdon iiu
Caryn Langdon that had to hurt
I also had a back injury L5S1 and found her personality refreshing. I hope you heal quickly. I had to learn to have patience with myself. Im still learning that.
Caryn Langdon Get well very soon, a prayer said for you.
Those little twins are so lucky to have such loving parents! They will grow up to be totally awesome people!
WOW!! JUST WOW!!!! You just make me feel soooo good seeing u with ur babies!..... I woke up paralyzed from surgery 6 years ago..T- 6, but at that time I had a 12 year old girl, a 5 year old boy, and a 2 1/2 year old girl, so my 12 year old stepped up to be the mom that I could not be when I was in the hospital, I don't know how u have done it. U r my hero..and make me want to do better for myself. Keep rolling on girl!!
To see u transfer on to ur couch without any spasms is a blessing from our God.
tracy cornell I’m really sorry that you had to go through that, how devastating. It’s wonderful that your daughter stepped up and was such a help to you. But I’ve no doubt it’s because YOU brought her up to be such a strong, lovely person. That is YOUR mothering. I wish you well. 💛
I love this lady's whole outlook from baby solutions to telling the story of her accident she is positive and light-hearted. Very refreshing!
For all those saying she needs to support their heads she says at one point they can support their own heads. Babies are stronger then you think. She's an intelligent and loving mother she knows what she's doing.
You are truly an inspiration!!!!!! I was pretty much reduced to a chair about 5 years ago due to a rare bacteria infection called pasteurella, caused from a cat lick ? I went into a coma and woke up about 4 weeks later with my right leg amputated above the knees, and due to severe neuropathy in my remaining leg, I’m in a chair 99% of the time! My ping for all of this rambling is, I always say, regardless of what happened , my greatest relief from all of it was I was able to raise my children to adulthood!! We traveled all over and they enjoyed the norms of childhood!! I don’t know how I would have ever done it then! I have a 3 yr old grandson and it breaks my heart every day because of all the things I cannot or will never be able to do with him, but then I also realize how lucky I am to even be alive!! Thank you for reminding me of that!! You truly are an amazing woman and you obviously have an amazing partner!! As do I!! God Bless!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how the dude went from buzzed and clean cut to straight up nomad. lol :P
me too.
I like beards but his is a bit much for a good looking man!
Lol I just noticed it
Yes he looked much better with the hair and everything
🤣🤣
Just came upon this...soooooo cute. Brings back so many memories...the babies are soooooo worth it. We've all been there, even tho we may not be disabled or had twins, per se. Very cute. She is a wonderful mother...kids are worth everything.
In 2004, I ended up paralyzed from the waist down due to a spinal cord injury... After 12 years, just when l thought I was"learning how to accept it", a car hit me in my wheelchair, causing me to lose my right leg, AND EVER SINCE I HAVE EITHER BEEN SINGLE, OR, IN A RELATIONSHIP THAT FELT LIKE I WAS PAYING TO BE IN.. I FEEL LIKE, unless I buy LOVE, I'll be single forever...I came across this channel, along with some others just yesterday, and I've been binge watching for about 13 hours straight.. I'M SO GLAD I DID...
Are u married and have kids where u from
thank you for this. I am in a wheelchair and I want to be a mother one day so this was very helpful.
Thanks for watching Charlie!
I have two wonderful friends, both have cerebral palsy, the wife from birth, the husband due to bacterial infection at three, both confined to wheelchairs the wife suffers spasms, in her legs and arms, they have two biological sons, they raised them on their own, they are now grandparents x 4, so please don't think you will not cope if you have a baby, you will be fine, and any child you have will grow up, with a total respect for the disabled, good luck and blessings, that one day you will hold a baby in your arms.
Mar V Gardner that’s awesome! Thank you!
I have a son who's a paraplegic I hope he ends up with such a great partner
Thanks for watching Margaret, hope you enjoyed! We're sure your son will end up with someone great!
Amen🙏
God bless you and your son I’m sure he’ll end up with a nice girl I bet he’s a handsome youngman🙂
He will
He will
Its hard for us paraplegics to have balance in their hip area so we have to hang on to something with one hand and then use the other hand to hold something and we know what we're doing I've been like this for almost eight years and I got a 18 month old
How great of a mommy are you!!! Your partner is a wow daddy also!!!! I am older 62,very ill with lupus&mainly in a wheelchair too.your video inspired me that some1 might be happy with me.divorced 2times,but have 3grown kids,I live with 2 of them,what wonderful help!!! So I have 9gr.children&1 great grandson &another 1 coming.wheelchairs don't bother kids,they just love the snuggles&kisses♥️U made a low day 4me....turn beautiful watching uall,hugs to all of u,Beth
feel for u a you a man if yes let hook up i will take care nd to love u nd ur kids too
You sound like you have a wonderful family. Kids are worth everything. God bless.
Well done Sarah. Don't be too concerned with all those super perfect arm chair experts, Uber mummies picking away at you. if they were perfect mothers them selves, they wouldn't feel the need put any other mother down. They would be supporting you and cheering you on , just like I am.
Thanks for watching NJSMKMMS!Hope you enjoyed our channel!
NJSMKMMS LOL
Please support their heads! Beautiful babies
Thanks for watching Tonya!
Jennifer Yearwood omg I thought so too but later in the vid she looks more normal so probably not hopefully.
Its obvious her babies are fine! They are strong enough to hold there own heads. Babies are not as fragile as you think! If you had multiple children you'd know that! Geez someone can't even post a video without idiots fucking commenting about how to do something!
She is an amazing Mummy
Thanks for watching Hannah! Hope you enjoyed!
I'm really so happy I discovered this wonderful channel...It serves to inspire both the able bodied & the disabled...(I'm seriously ill & hope never to complain about my limitations again) I'd love to see many more disabled individuals in social media...showing the World they're competent and accomplished individuals...and not the *sum* of their disabilities...
Thanks for watching Poppykok5! Hope you enjoyed!
Exactly,we need to be loved&stay in media4 many reasons♥️Beth
The other shoulder keeps the balance.
HER BALANCE. Her and the baby would fall out out of her chair if she didn't use one arm to hold her own and, the baby. You understand better when you LIVE with someone in a wheelchair like I do, with her type of injury. She doesn't have core muscles like my husband who can easily tip over. It's a matter of priorities and the babies are mostly cartilage, and have extremely flexible necks; if their necks, aren't jolted at high speeds they are fine. Wonderful job! Extremely brave! Bravo!!! The exact reason she can't breast feed both at once. Her arms are her control of her own body and balance.
Oh God i thought i was the only one that was bothered by the lack of head support for the babies 😩
She does it as good as she can... I think she is such amazing mother because she is really trying her best. Many people in her situation would have given them up for adoption or even aborted.....
@@luciafrau125 I mean, sure but being lenient with her ends when the babies neck snaps.
Babies who already can hold their heads up (as seen on the play blanket) have strong enough muscles so their head won't just fall off if moved calmly the short distance the way the mother did.
And let's be honest here. Almost every mom, dad or relative picked up babies like that and put them down elsewhere without ill effect. Almost everyone forgets to constantly handle a baby like it's made from brittle china. And they are not. It might be much more of a problem for a very young baby to be held upright without head support.
I thought the same thing as well 😨
@@BostonBitch333 I thought the same that's why his head was hanging back cause there was no head support at all
It’s great seeing how she manages to adapt her way through motherhood with limited mobility as a result of a spinal cord injury. I have spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy and I’ve felt that it would definitely be very challenging for me to handle having kids because my entire left side, especially my arm and leg are weaker than my right side. This is why adapting to your own surroundings is truly important for situations like this. I hope she is able to marry her fiancé soon as those babies are a bit older and more manageable.
Thanks for watching Kayla 😊
I agree. A quickie wedding wouldn't be a bad idea when the kids got a little older and more manageable.
Hi I totally agree with you, it is about adapting to your surroundings and this video is very useful as I want to have kids in the future but I have always wondered how I would manage as like you I have cerebral palsy, and as a result both of legs don’t work and I have limited mobility on the left upper side of my body
I to am a paraplegic and have a14 month old son wow I tell ha it is very challenging but very rewarding thank god I have his father helping with him and helping me as well
Thanks for watching tulip dawn, hope you enjoyed !
Interesting video. I'm high level paraplegic with teenage twins. We just treated every stage as a new way of life, got on with it, got good medical care, and figured it out. I didn't have or need any special equipment, just creativity.
I wish people would not look on people like us as extraordinary but simply people who are living our lives. I have worked full time, right up to 2 weeks before I delivered and went back to work 12 weeks after they were born. It's normal life, just from a seated position. No magic involved.
Thank you for sharing! Hope you enjoyed our channel and keep coming back! 😀
What an awesome Mum you are & you've got a great man who's a fab Dad also! The twins are really fortunate to have a great family around them. Good luck for the future 😀
Thanks for watching Elizabeth! Hope you enjoyed!
One thing I figured out quite early in having kids is everything is adaptable ...we all do it in a way that works for us and so will they as the babies grow and start moving. She will set things up that work for her. I have no doubt that she is a great mom and will raise these babies, along with dad, to be an awesome family.
And also, the kids will also adapt to how she does things as well as they grow and get older. It may be a challenge but every parent faces challenges for every "first" thing. We all adapt to what works and she will as well. What an amazing woman.
We couldn't agree with you more! Thanks for the kind words and glad to have you as part of the community!
Exactly! Thank you for your comment!
I think Sarah is doing her best and doing great I really wish her family well bless them on their journey!
Thanks for watching MARY GREER, and the support! 😊
She is an amazing woman and mother!!
She also motivate me in a special way.
Thanks Kay!
I just want her to support the baby's head more..
Thanks for watching Nell! And yes that seems to be the recurring feedback!
Nell Bell
You mention about gates, I'm not sure if they are still made but we got gates from Toy r us which have an adjustable width as we had extra wide doorways.
Just what i was thinking... It really scares me
Nell Bell I know, right!? That's all I kept thinking every time she picked up a baby.
All I can say she is a good mom, With a very strong determination. And good advise is always needed. God bless them all , And as fast as they go along she will learn . Cause it seems as she have an open mind God bless .
She sure is! Thanks for watching Kay!
shes doing amazing! i give the hubby major props!
An amazing supportive partner! Hope you enjoyed the episode Victoria! Thanks for watching!
I am a disabled mom of 2 boys grown and 5 grand kids.
Thanks for sharing and reminding me of my amazing story. You are so brave and babies are cute too.
Thank you for watching and sharing your story Christine Kent
Omg she is making me so nervous ... they need more neck support I thought, what do I know 🤷🏽♀️
It's only problematic if the head snaps back. A baby's head can be forward or back and it won't hurt the child...
Neck support per se is no longer recommended, only minimal support so their heads don't snap back suddenly. Head support stops the neck from developing the way nature intended it to. I really struggled with this with my last child as all my dealings with babies personally and professionally up until then had hammered home the need for neck support.
Things have changed but the US is slowest on our birthing medicine for some reason. One of the most scary statistics I found out when I was pregnant was the us has advanced in almost all medicine. But when it comes to birthing medicine not only are we behind but women and children are more likely to die in birth in the US than any other developed country.... 😒 boy is u.s. medicine gender-based.... in every actual way but I don't want to get into the history of medicine it'll make you angry 😆.....makes me angry 😳😔
I want to say that you are doing a great job with your twins. Well done!
Thanks for your kind words!
i broke my back in a car wreak now im paralized from waist down i have a 9 month old its hard to take care of him vary hard to hold him feels like my back going out on him /its hard to deal with pain feels like a screw driver digging into my back 24/7 pain medicine dont really help my pain but im just bless God gave me a son
I am a Mum of 2 from Nz although we are now living in China. My son is 5years&11months and has mild autism, my daughter Coco is 1year&4.5months old. I also have a spinal injury, severing my spinal cord quite badly through levels c2-c4, at the time my prognosis was more likely than not death and should I survive then my functioning was predicted to be very low due the level being so high. However through years of super intensive physio and OT, being a newborn as well regeneration also probably played a part in my dramatic recovery to the point where I could walk by age 4 (although my balance is still not great) and the nature of my disability is not immediately obvious to a stranger. When I was a high school student I spent a week at Burwood (awesome awesome place there) undergoing assessments, learning so much about my injury and discovering different tools to utilize in my everyday life. I met a middle aged man there who had been injured on a quad bike, as you do - we introduced ourselves and shared the 5 second version of what our injuries were ie: My name is _____. X many years ago My level is C#/T#/L#/S#. I fell/crashed/twisted/landed/was shot/stabbed/operated on etc.
I was so shocked to learn that this guy was injured with much the same severity and at the exact same level as me. Yet this guy could not walk nor could he move any of his limbs, he had trouble with speech let alone breathing unassisted, this guy was completely reliant on the assistance of somebody else for every single aspect of his life. Complete quadriplegia I think is the term? Maybe I'm wrong on that but regardless I had never met anybody with injury with the same cord level as me so understandably it was quite confronting but the guy was so cool and despite his circumstances he was genuinely interested in the fact we had this in common and could find a sense of humour in the fact that I had left my referral paper at my previous appointment on the opposite side of the hospital and had to walk to retrieve it whereas he could have just ridden there in his chair. I'm not a complaining type of person but even as a 14 or so year old at the time I really admired this strangers steadfast strength of character.
It's super awesome to see videos of other awesome parents with disabilities, embracing whatever their situation may be and getting creative with different ways to complete the various tasks and activities that come with caring for our children.
I do have to say a few things in this video made me nervous, as other people mentioned the lack of head support the babies had when being picked up and also leaving one baby on the bed while taking the other to and from the bath. Babies only need 1 second fall off a bed or sofa (I know from experience with my own children). Having had a spinal injury myself for my entire life and (although not nearly as intensive now) the life long requirements of extra hospital visits, check ups, forever having to explain oneself as well as complications with travel and obtaining visas when you have a permanent injury. This is aside from the actual effects my injury has, such as severe neuropathic pain in my leg and almost no muscle tone or strength affecting the right side of my body.
There are so many people suffering with afflictions worse than mine but personally I could never ever forgive myself if one of my two had suffered an injury or suffered any pain should they fall as a result of being momentarily distracted or failing to hold them securely.
I have limited/almost no motor function in my right hand and side of my body so my left side basically completes all tasks while my right side kinda just comes along for the ride, whether that be walking or holding a baby/stroller pushing anything and everything really. So there are definitely ways to safely hold/transfer baby whilst still supporting them and maintaining your own balance. I know very well that babies are a lot stronger than we give credit for but for their size they are also quite forceful in their movements and a disproportionate amount of weight is contained in the cannon ball atop their cute little shoulders.
PLEASE be extra careful with those beautiful babies, don't ever leave them on the bed or any other surface even for one second, and thank you AttitudeLive for another great informative video.
For all those criticising this woman and how she holds her babies. Neck support per se is no longer recommended, only minimal support so their heads don't snap back suddenly. Head support stops the neck from developing the way nature intended it to. I never saw neck support the way we do it in Western countries when I was in Africa and their babies are fine. I really struggled with this with my last child as all my dealings with babies personally and professionally up until then had hammered home the need for neck support. Additionally she has to hold her babies differently so she can balance as she does not have the abdominal muscles able bodied folks do which have SO much to do with standing, balance etc. The physics of her balance due to the damage to her body, being in a chair and holding any weight are completely different.
Good for you for sending this message. I think she did a great job being a spinal cord injury. Being a spinal cord injury myself it’s much different how to do things than an able bodied person.
I would love to see the babies now, over two years old 🤗
You are a great mom, your partner and family are wonderful!
The babies are beautiful!
Hi ya, this video is a bit older, kids are 9 now
You are such a good mom I love the way you interact with your babies and what is that on your lap you hold them with that's really helpful keep up the good job
I had triplets with very very little help and it was hard. Hat's off to Sarah. Great mum great attitude great dad. So some people have criticised the way the necks and heads were not supported. You know - as parents of multiples we're not perfect. Sarah has a twist - her disability and you know what she's doing a great job. I wonder what YOU did .... camera, lights reality - THIS IS GOOD. Well done Sarah and family
no matter what people always will have something negative to say. gosh get over yourselves. this lady is a great mum!!!
Thanks for watching Ann Bee, hope you stay tuned!
I’m a t-2 para for 20 years. I don’t know if I could have managed a baby. I can’t even pick up my cat. I took birth control against doctors recommendations at the risk of developing blood clots to prevent pregnancy.
I don’t know how she managed so very well. I’m sure she has moments/hours/days when she is super frustrated, as we all do. It also helps immensely that she has a supportive partner, family and friends who can help. Not everyone has a support network.
For those of you who say she should “just get a van to drive”, you have no idea how much they cost. A late model used one (2016) can cost around $25k (USD) up to around $70k for a 2018.
Being disabled is expensive. Insurance/government doesn’t pay for everything. There is expensive, basic equipment you have to buy just to allow you to do the most basic daily tasks like shower and use the toilet. Then there are the health complications that inevitably come as you age, from shoulder injuries from repetitive overuse, skin breakdown from perpetual sitting and transferring from surface to surface that result in pressure ulcers, medical supplies like gloves and catheters and the list goes on an on. Not to mention the accommodations that must be made to your home so you can get in/out and through narrow doorways.
I am impressed at how well she did with these tiny babies. And don’t worry, their necks are FINE!!
I would love to see a follow up to see how they are managing now.
im 25 years old girl who had sci injured ,been paralysed for 4 years, i have a loving bf and we loving since 2007 till now ...i wish i can married and be a mummy like you sister but for sure i cnt reach ur level super lady, god bless u and ur family always... hope cn keep in touch with u, u r so pretty much strong.stay happy 😍😘
Thanks for watching Jegatheswary!Hope you enjoyed our channel!
U stay full of HOPE ♥️
Stay full of hope♥️
if you don’t mind me asking, since you and your partner were together before your injury, how was he through it all? did your relationship change? i have a progressive chronic illness that makes me wheelchair dependent most of the time. i got my diagnosis at 13 so i’ve never dated anyone without being sick so i just think the perspective of dating someone first as an able-bodied person and then as a disabled person is interesting! i know you’re still the same person as you were before your injury, but the relationship dynamics must have shifted in some way?
You are (1) 25 years old and (2) have a great BF for at least 10 years (if my calculations are right), so why NOT get married? Unless you are going to school (and even so), you can easily get married and start having kids. They are worth it, trust me.
She is a wonderful Mami 😊 The Baby's are so cuteeeeeee 😍 Best regards from Germany and all good Wishes for you and your Family 😊
your babies are so beautiful and you and your husband are wonderful parents! 😀
Hope you enjoyed the episode Jan! Thanks for watching!😀
She is a power house and a true inspiration...
Where can I get the attachment she has on her chair to carry the babies? It looks like it's just a bouncer. It's such a smart idea!!
Thanks for watching Meghan!
It probably was a bouncer with the legs cut and bent at the needed angle. Invention is the mother of necessity.

Thanks for watching Rachel Foreman 😊
Loved your story Sarah, your babies are so cute, looks like you have a great husband, ignore all the negative comments of the ignorant people writing here, I wish I had been as brave as you are....Best of wishes for your family....
Thanks for all the kind words!
Mom and Dad make a great team. I admire this lady's courage and determination; her kids have a great role model in her.
I know everyone is saying I support their neck she is a first-time mother and she's a paraplegic she's doing the best she can she's doing an amazing job and they can hold their head if you watch the whole video God bless her and those children
Thanks for your kind words Beeah Mel! An amazing family indeed, Hope you enjoyed the episode!
She is obviously a strong woman! Good on her for following through with the challenge of her situation!
I have cerebral palsy. Had 4 children. No problems. Congratulations to all the moms with disabilities. You are blessed.
you and your husband are doing such a grand job god bless you all you are so so brave and so very happy
Thanks for watching Patricia!
The babies are healthy and fine! 😉 So please enough with the "hold their head" comments. Lets just enjoy the fact that the family is fine and mum is doing a great job despite being in a wheel chair! God bless x
Thanks for watching L Bee 😊
These twins are very lucky to have a mum and dad like you, much love to you and the babies
Such a lovely determined woman she is. I wish her the best with her adorable twins.
I have to applaud this woman for her inner strength! She is beautiful inside and out! Just because she is confined to a wheelchair doesn't show her as not being beautiful! She is overcoming her disability in the ways she can being a great woman, wife, mother, etc! I look up to this lady!
First of. People aren't confined by wheelchairs. Ew. Very ableist concept.
Without the chair they would be confined to bed. Like every other mobility aid a wheelchair liberaits and gives us the freedome to go places.
Second of she ain't inspiration porn.
Sweetest family ever. God bless.
Thanks for watching Paula!
what an amazing family you have, these babies could never want for more love and caring..im in ore of you ..well done x
Thank you for the kind words and support Julie-Anne!! Glad you enjoyed the episode!
She has such an amazing support system in place!
I think that's so good.
I'm legally blind and I have children that are all grown up!
I can't drive do to my uncorrectable vision.
The driving was at times a very big challenge because I had my babies about 2 years and a little under 2 years apart.
Sometimes I would feel very dependent on others to get from point a to point b. I say the generically because there were always places I would want to go but couldn't due to my disability.
I made it work though. But at times I struggled.
Having to wait for you is what will teach the twins patience, which is a wonderful skill to have!
You are an amazing mom and a wonderful person. You could let these negative thoughts destroy you, but you have not. I'm sure there has been many tears as with any new mom's. People babies don't break that easily and if you watch she was getting better and is not afraid to try!!!
Thanks for watching Barbara, hope you enjoyed it 😊
I just love all the abled people telling her what she is doing wrong. I got a lot of that too (I have an incomplete SCI, with very little use of my right arm and some in my legs) and honestly it was the most painful thing to deal with. My daughter is now 6yo, completely amazing and loved by everyone who meets her, and it is only in the last maybe year that people have started to believe I can actually raise her.
Stop, guys. Really. Your judgy comments won't change anything about stuff that was filmed months ago. It simply hurts those like myself who read your attempts to feel superior.
May God bless and watch over this beautiful family... and a personal and much deserved thank you to their extended family for being there with love, open arms and help.
I don't see anything wrong with the hanging heads. My head fell off when I was a few months old, they just glued it back on. These are natural things that happen.
Toad Milker 😂😂😂
Those babies heads are strong!! She's an amazing mom!!
You're amazing and with all due respect you need to protect your babies head when picking them up...God Bless You and Your Family :-)
Do y'all not know she got to hang on so she don't fall while placing the babies on the couch she has her hands on the upper back and neck area the nurses shown her how to do it /so stop saying shes not holding there neck cause she is
Allowing their heads to dangle kills me
kills the baby you mean
headlines =
The babies are having tummy time and they can obviously hold their own heads up. Did you not watch the video?
Your concerns are not justified. It takes a great deal more force to risk injury. (I just confirmed this in peer reviewed literature.) Try not to be judgemental of others without all the available information. It isn't fair and can be very hurtful.
I think they're referring to the part where she puts the baby on the couch at about 8:10.
Life is different for all of us i guess, brave and energetic people
Thanks for watching Chaz Pope 😊
Let's not forget that she is in a wheelchair and is doing her very best I think she is doing wonderful 👌 .
"Lets not forget she is in a wheelchair"
What does that have to do with her mom qualitiys
I'm exhausted just watching this! A great little family :)
Thanks for watching Sherbet Pip!Hope you enjoyed our channel!
Ok I got a bit scared when I saw her let her baby's head dangling....
I guess no one told her to support the baby's heads
@@karenkramer3760 she says at one point they can support their own heads. Babies are stronger then you think.
@@karenkramer3760 You can tell they are supporting their own heads.
I'm all over super-supporting babies heads, but honestly, they're both really strong.
Its very difficult to move as a paraplegic without stabilizing yourself. If you have to do something that bears weight, you only have your arms to support your equilibrium or you'll fall forward or over to the side. She has to make sure she doesn't lose her balance or she could drop them or bump them into something so one hand holding them is safer for her.
@@lu.luxxie Thank you so much for that information!!!
I did not know that at all!!!
I give her credit for mothering twins. Two babies at once is a lot. One child is challenging, itself. And being handicap on top of all the challenges... you go girl!

She is not inspiration porn.
i peeked at her facebook page, the kids are adorable
Thanks for watching boo!
What was her name on facebook?
Sarah pope fyi. Haha.
can't find her lol
@@leopriest133 I can't either
The way she picks them up😢 please their neck
Yes! 😞😬
So very true. I am worried.
Lot of respect for the mother; well done! Be happy with your kids en husband!
Ik its hard but im just saying that they need to support the babies necks because i feel so worried that they r going to get hurt as their neck is so far back xx
Your a wonderful Mom don't worry what people say. God has given you both two babies to love and cherish. Be blessed all of you. 🙆
OMG woman...support those poor babies heads!!
I was thinking the same thing...
I'm not sure what level she is but I'm paraplegic and I could and would make that a top priority.
And it is actually easier if she supports the head than whatshe is doing.
Ikr!!!
Listen you little worm if you actually watched the video without a judgemental attitude you would actually hear where they say that she is a PARAPLEGIC which means paralyzed waist down meaning little to no balance, If she did use both hands SHE would end up falling on top of the baby also .
dont let ppl to tel you l things Sarah you are doing a good job-you have one beautiful smile and an outlook in life..you will manage ok..
Inspiring life story. Makes me feel small for the day to day struggles my health issues bring, song her deal with twins is awesome and scary on its on but f seeing her do this with her physical limitations is just so inspirational. Beautiful couple and family.
It must be hard cus some people complain about one baby and getting up at night but I think your doing a great job and it's good that people help you. God bless you all
They are made for each other.wish you a good luck!
Thanks for watching!
What an amazing mom you are. I smiled through the entire video. I am going to be using a new word and that would be challenging. It might be a challenge to get dinner cooked tonight. That would make me feel so much better then "I didn't get the darn dinner cooked." Now, I will say...It will be a challenge to get dinner cooked but I can do it." Kinda like a dare. Thank you so much for sharing. I found this video very inspiring.
Awesome to hear! Hope you stay tuned ursaucie!
I'm sitting here as a twin feeling sorry for my mum
