<!--startindex-->TULARE, Calif. -- A San Joaquin Valley woman who weighs 37 pounds, stands 3 feet tall and uses a wheelchair has given birth to her first child, overcoming serious odds and doubters who advised her to abandon their [sic] dream of becoming parents.

Eloysa Vasquez, 38, suffers from Type 3 osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder that makes bones soft and easily broken. Her tiny, distorted body left little room for a fetus to grow and Vasquez suffered two miscarriages before doctors at Stanford University's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital delivered her son, Timothy, by Cesarean section on Jan. 24.

I won't speculate on how the child was conceived.

That's a very weird disease that woman has! But I bet she and her husband are pleased as punch that they have an (apparently) normal, healthy baby!

On the opposite side of the coin, I took care of a baby once whose mom weighed 700 pounds. Apparently, the woman's sisters had to hold her legs apart so the father could impregnate her. :uhh:

At least the baby of that mom in the article was born healthy. I'm not sure I'd risk having a baby if my health were so fragile and if I had a chance of passing on my condition to the child.

Osteogenisis Imperfecta is a horrid ailment. I cared for an infant with it once. She endured three fractures just being born.
