I have usher syndrome which also means that I am partially deaf with retinitis pigmentosa which also makes me legally blind. I have raised 6 kids. Yes you do end up spending a lot more time at home. Also yes you can use an Uber and have your child with you. They will even provide a forward-facing seat.

First of all, say to yourself "I can do it" , my wife and I had the same experience, you can go around in Uber with a kid, for walking around I suggest to buy a kangaroo (I think that's the right name) on the early stages you can have your kid nearby. And finally congratulations!

Edit: my wife has retinitis pigmentosa, my daughter is now 3 years old

I’m pregnant! Legally blind. I’m not nervous any more. I went to a parenting class at a local hospital, and that settled my nerves a lot. You get to practice changing a diaper and stuff.

I’m having a c-section to try to maintain my vision, and warned the hospital about possible vision-loss-during-birth as well. They were very supportive.

I do have a lot of help from my sister, and a very supportive SO. I know I’ll be bored and home bound for the first few months, but we are going to renew my audible and ensure a lot of healthy coping skills are in place. I have quite a few friends nearby too.

Even if you can’t get local help, try to tap in to the local Association of the Blind. Moral support is awesome. I am in a Blind Discord group as well, where all you need is a mic to find friends. My life is a lot richer now that I’m opening up to people and possibilities.

All new parents tend to feel overwhelmed. It is normal. It is a huge adjustment for anyone. I suggest using a baby carrier rather than a stroller(pram). It will keep your hands free and you won’t have to worry about pushing the baby into harm’s way. Btw, I raised three kids. They are all successful adults now. Yo got this! You go girl!

Yeah I know it isn’t the same but I’ve had pets all my life and always loved looking after animals, so I really hope this is just pre-birth nerves and that I’ll be ok. As you say it probably settles down after first couple of months once you find best way of doing things. I like idea of sling.

The RNIB has some info/anecdotes which directly addresses a couple of your concerns.

"Jane said one of the things she was particularly daunted by before her baby was born was the logistics of using a cane and a push chair at the same time. After researching her options she decided to have a go using a baby carrier alongside her cane. "I assumed that all baby carriers were fabric slings which would be hard to use but I found one with buckles that was extremely easy to use." Jessica said that she would have liked more information on slings and baby carriers before her baby came along and Lynne agreed saying that midwives and health visitors did not seem to cover mobility issues with her before baby came along. She recommends trying a number of baby carriers out to see what works best, for her a carrier where the baby is worn on the back worked out the best.

"I am so grateful to my fully-sighted sister, Mel, for building up my confidence - she was delighted when she found out I was pregnant and so excited that we would both sharing the experience of being a mum. She made me feel so normal and encouraged me to find support in the same places as other new mums and not put up a barrier between myself and other new mums just because I can't see.
"It is important to remember that motherhood is challenging for all new mums and there are a lot of people out there all wanting to reach out to each other. It is tempting to fall into the trap of thinking you are isolated because of disability and I have felt cut off from others because I can't use a car but that is really where the isolation ends. Being blind from birth I am so used to navigating through my life as a blind person, and being a blind mum is much the same - finding solutions to problems that don't require sight to make them work. I feel well supported by the sighted mums I know because emotionally there are far more similarities than differences between us - we are all new to this adventure!"

I have two children. After I found out I was pregnant with my son, and I calm down from the overwhelming joy of realizing I was going to be a mom, I immediately set into a state of terror. I was so scared that I was going to lose my child simply because of my disability. Even worse, I didn’t know how to change a diaper or do any of that stuff. It is not easy, especially once they start walking, but there are ways that you can get around it. The biggest thing that I can tell you right now is to calm down. You will be surprised at how important maternal instincts are. How powerful they are I should say. It’s like… As soon as I held my child, everything clicked into place. I didn’t necessarily know how to do everything, but I knew how to figure it out. Calm down. You got this. Please feel free to message me for any specific questions you might have. I am happy to share my experience.

I’m assuming by your post that the father is no longer with you?

Do you have any friends who can help you out?
