In this insightful article, Alex Belth shares his perspective on his wife’s Crohn’s Disease. While Alex and Em have decided not to have children, the article offers important perspective, resources, and advice for how to weather the storm and strengthen your relationship in the face of chronic illness.

While not meant to replace the advice and guidance of doctors on these topics, Mamas Facing Forward endeavors to be a “one stop shop” for moms and moms-to-be who are living with chronic illnesses and have questions or concerns about pregnancy and motherhood. We want to make existing resources easier to find and work towards creating additional resources where they are needed. We want moms with chronic illnesses to know they aren’t alone and that help is available.
