I would say yes they can - cp doesn't affect pregnancy really, and the delivery thats the same hurdles as a abled bodied woman having a baby at 38.

My sister also had c...

Hi there I too was rushed into hospital 8 yrs ago....they diagnosed pancreatitis. This wasnt due to drink this was because I had Gall Stones and my gall bladder had become so broken down with stones they removed it. I too had to go through what you are going through, they tend to think we are all drinkers! But in many cases its because of the Gall Bladde...
