I had a congenital heart defect and the first surgery was when I was 7 years old.
After that, everything went well for the first year, but then something went wrong and I had to have a second operation at the age of 9.
The operation was long and complicated, and when I woke up I could no longer walk due to spinal cord damage. I have paraparesis now and will never be able to walk again.
I always thought I would become a mother, without any doubt or limitations in my mind. The first pregnancy was unexpected, but we decided to keep the baby.
I was in a wheelchair and worried about whether I would be able to give birth.
After a consultation, the doctors agreed and I managed to give birth to a healthy girl named Vika by cesarean section.
The second pregnancy was a bigger surprise, but we managed well and my second daughter Nika was born.
In my experience, having two children is easier, especially when they can play together and keep each other company.
It wasn’t too difficult for me as a new mother because I was used to doing everything around the house myself.
My mother has always been there to support and help me, and she continues to help me raise the girls, sit with them and help them with their homework.
