The Council for Disability Rights. Baby Q and A. This is a follow up to "A Very Special Q and A" post. This mother contacted me in her seventh month of pregnancy after discovering her unborn child had Achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism.

Ever since being officially diagnosed with endometriosis, I have been seeking out alternative health remedies for my illness, because the surgery did not provide pain relief. The biggest pet peeve I have regards what I call information hoarders. Here we are, women suffering horribly with an incurable, debilitating disease that we were born with, and all we want is to find out what we can do to ease our symptoms.
