2ft 10" Woman Defies Odds To Give Birth | BORN DIFFERENT

A 2ft 10" WOMAN with brittle bones disease has defied doctors by giving birth to her son. Trisha Taylor, 31, from Idaho was diagnosed at birth with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, after being born with 150 fractured bones. The condition which is more commonly known as Brittle Bones disease, meant that Trisha grew to be just 2ft 10” tall and it has also caused her to break over 600 bones in her life, some of which broke as a result of her sneezing or falling over. In 2008, she met her 6ft 1" partner Michael. In 2011 the couple got married and by 2014 the couple had decided they wanted to have a child together. On consulting with several doctors Trisha was advised against having a child, as she was told the baby could crush her. However, Trisha was determined to have her own child and in 2015 she found a doctor who was willing to support her. On March 29, 2016, Trisha gave birth to Maven, who weighed 3lb 13oz and was perfectly healthy. Trisha, who is now raising Maven with her husband, hopes to inspire others and show that disabled couples can have children of their own.
