Children and child birth?

Hi and welcome Lunarknight... I'm a walking C5/6 quad and had my daughter after my accident. I had a C section because of my weak stomach muscles. I had a discussion with the doctors beforehand and it was decided to not try and have a child naturally.
I'm glad I didn't.... I was given a light general anaesthetic and woke up half hour later...went home 2 days later.

As for my pregnancy and my normal walking difficulties.....sure, pregnancy made it a little harder to walk but since it was a gradual weight gain, I adjusted.  The only time I had issues was when in my 7th month, my husband told me he was leaving me... I was so upset that I didn't concentrate as hard when walking that I tripped and fell onto my tummy.....you can imagine how worried I was the I had hurt my baby but she was fine.... that embryonic sac is pretty strong.

When I raising my daughter... I couldn't do a lot of things which able bodied people can do (like play sports, run etc) with their kids but I don't think my daughter has missed out on much, one day when she was about 5 we were about to cross a street and she said to me, "hold my hand Mummy, I'll help you cross the street" and to this day she still holds my hand when she sees that walking is more difficult for me...she is 19. 
My little girl has grown up always knowing that I have issues and to her, thats normal for her. She's a typical teen, can be lazy (I have to nag her to do chores) but she has grown into a lovely young lady who has always been nice to other people... I tend to think that because she has always known that I have limitations, it has made her have more empathy to others, at school she was always the one who defended other kids who may have been picked on
I have raised her basically on my own apart from when she was younger and my Mum helped ( I won't get into discussion about her father but suffice to say, he didn't help raise our daughter).
