Hi everyone I had a stroke over 10 years ago and have recently got married and had a baby

The stroke affected one side of my body leaving me partially paralysed, partially sighted epilepsy and balance issues.

Had anyone had any experience of becoming a mum following a stroke how did you find this experience and did you have any physical side-effects like myself?
