Lynne, here are your questions, and some answers:

Q. I am 6 months pregnant right now. Could this affect my claim?
A. I don't think so.
Q. Do I have a good chance of being approved?
A. This is hard to say. You have excellent work skills, which somewhat offsets your substantial impairments.
Q. Do you think I need a lawyer for this?
A. If you are going to file you need one.
Q. What else should I do?
A. You are highly educatable. Try to identify a job that requires your brains, but not your body, qualify yourself for it, and see if you can get out of your situation in that way, too. But disability might prove to be your only option in the long run. And stock up on all the long term disability benefits you can buy at work.
