Alyce hasn’t met a barrier she hasn’t been able to smash through. Until now. A shock pregnancy discovery turns into the fight of her life – will her doctors, and her body, allow her to have this baby?
Alyce Nelligan has always been a force to be reckoned with. Born with minicore myopathy, a rare muscle disease, she was the first child at her primary school in Toowoomba, Queensland, to use a wheelchair. Later, she became the first person with a physical disability to graduate from her high school. Alyce's life has been a series of groundbreaking achievements, constantly pushing past the limits others set for her.
But nothing could prepare her for the shock of an unexpected pregnancy. This episode of 'Days Like These' takes you on Alyce's rollercoaster journey as she navigates the complexities of pregnancy with a serious medical condition. With doctors skeptical about her ability to carry the baby to term, Alyce faces a battle not just with her body but with societal expectations and medical advice. Her story is one of sheer determination and an unbreakable spirit.
You'll find yourself rooting for Alyce as she confronts each hurdle with grit and grace, proving that no barrier is insurmountable. Perfect for anyone who loves stories of resilience and courage, this episode offers a heartfelt glimpse into the extraordinary life of an ordinary woman who refuses to be defined by her limitations.
