Karina White is a woman of 32 years and 1.10m tall. She has a disease called Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita (SEDC) and is 32 weeks pregnant. This causes it to become England's shortest mom.
Karina's family doesn't have this disease, and her husband doesn't either. However, they were informed, before being parents, that the baby would have a 50% chance of being born with the same illness that his mother has.
In the first moment the doctor opposed a possible pregnancy since your lungs may not be strong enough to support a pregnancy. Also, having scoliosis they told him that he could not bear the weight of the future baby. However, the couple did not give up and more studies were conducted to determine the potential risk of pregnancy. Finally they told him that he could be a mother. And Karina got pregnant.
At 20 weeks they learned that the baby will be a girl and a month later they were informed that the girl He had inherited the same syndrome as the mother.
AdvertisingGiven this Karina says: “We refuse to see this as a problem. I faced her being small and she will too.”
The baby will be born next month by caesarean section, since Karina's pelvis is too small to have a vaginal delivery.
This is one of the typical news that raise doubts about whether or not to have the baby: "If you knew there was that risk, why did you get pregnant?", "If she is already like that, can she take care of the baby ? "," knowing that you will have the syndrome, why have it? ".
Before all this I can only give my opinion. Most likely, Karina, despite her 110 centimeters in height, is a person with a lot of self-esteem who knows differently but does not feel as such. This makes her be able to care for and raise, along with her husband, a girl with the same syndrome so that she is as happy as she will have been, or more.
