In this 15th episode of Arthur’s Heroes Jess meets Lucy to discuss the challenges and pleasures of being a new parent who has been diagnosed with arthritis.

Lucy already had two children when she received her diagnosis and had a very busy life working part-time as well as bringing up her children. When Lucy found out, very unexpectedly, that she was expecting her third child she realised that she would have to approach parenting in a very different way. She talks to Jess about re-defining her role as a mum and how Project Mum, the Arthur’s Place wellness kit helped.
