Trolls Say I Can’t Be A Mom Because I’m Disabled | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

WHEN Alex and Noah shared the news that they were going to have a baby, they received a lot of negativity. Alex has a rare disease called spinal muscular atrophy type two and Noah is one of her main caregivers. The couple received nasty comments and there were a lot of misconceptions about Alex being disabled and pregnant. Earlier this year, she gave birth to their gorgeous daughter, Ari, who is now four-months-old. She said: “My pregnancy experience was one of the hardest things I have ever done but I have this beautiful little lady.” Since Ari was born, the negativity has continued with comments questioning both their capabilities as parents. Trolls criticise their parenting, saying Noah is not capable of looking after Alex and Ari, or they assume that their daughter will become her mother’s caregiver. Alex said: “Trolls say I am not fit to be a parent because I am disabled.” But the couple will not let this negativity stop them from posting on social media. Alex said: “I am dedicated to breaking stigmas about disability and being a parent.”
