Being a blind mother of 4 under 4, how do you do it? - with Ebony

In our 100th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Ebony. Ebony is the mum of 4 under 4. She is also blind – she has retinitis pigmentosa and has progressively lost her sight since birth! 

We chat with her about her perspective of motherhood, which is obviously different to ours, but actually very similar in other ways: 

• What is retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and at what age did Ebony get diagnosed?
• Can RP get passed on to your children? 
• Did Ebony learn braille? 
• When did Ebony meet her partner and what’s it like dating when you have very little vision? 
• What’s it like being blind and being a mother?
• How does Ebony feel about getting out and about with her kids on her own?
• How does it feel not knowing what your children look like?
• How does Ebony tell her twins apart?
•  Is there anything that Ebony thinks could be done to make motherhood or life in general more accessible for mothers/people who are vision impaired?
• And MORE!!!!

We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!
