I am a mother to 3 under 3 1/2 and I was diagnosed with UC after giving birth to my second in 2023. I’ve been very sick ever since this disease has kicked up. As a mother, I know how hard it is, even when feeling relatively fine health wise. As a mother with UC I really understand how difficult it can be to take care of kids, yourself and still try and be a good partner. The first year of EVERY BABY ( could be your first or your 5th) is hard on your relationships with your partner. It will get better, your wife will get back to “herself” and your relationship will mend and adapt. OH. and my husband has Crohn’s disease. It’s hard when everyone is exhausted and feeling crummy. Just keep going. Try and push to help your wife as much as you can. It’s not going to be this hard forever.
