5 Conclusion
After acquiring an SCI, the majority of women who became mothers are those with low and incomplete lesions. Moreover, there seem to be no fertility issues related to impairment or age other than the biological age for motherhood. Women of all reproductive stages were represented in this study, meaning that all women need to be counselled with respect to their reproductive life stage (family planning, contraception, infertility/sterility treatment, pregnancy/lactation, peri- and postmenopause). In addition, a holistic, inter-professional approach is needed to educate reproductive health professionals to improve the quality of ObGyn care for women with SCI and disabilities in general. Strengthening ObGyn services would likely result in cost savings for the health system, improve individual health outcomes and promote social inclusion and participation.
