Being pregnant in itself isn't a disability. Many women feel great when they're pregnant! I know I did!

She will be able to manage perfectly well - she might appreciate a bit of extra help from time to time but there's no need to become her 'carer'

You can carry on working and leave her to get on with her day - in fact she can also carry on working. I worked til 39 weeks with my 5th baby and all was fine.

Being pregnant doesn't qualify her for PIP and you for Carers Allowance.

Even with the procedure she needs.

I know the op - to prevent late miscarriage?

Pain during some parts of pregnancy (and of course during labour🤣) is very normal.

Why would you want your partner to be disabled?! This is a happy time for you both - embrace it with a positive mindset and it will be a walk in the park.

The hard bit is when the baby arrives. Or should i say when the baby becomes a teenager . . .

As previous posters have said, pregnancy is not a disability. But I don’t agree that she won’t need help as some women do become very unwell during pregnancy. No two pregnancies are alike. If she has a history of miscarriage I can understand why it can be frightening instead of a happy period.

You might need to check with your midwife about ante natal support including sick pay or benefits she is entitled to. Unfortunately having children can be very expensive especially because some of the unexpected issues that arrive. If you are at work then you might need to turn to family or friends or pay someone if she needs extra help.

I hope all goes well and she has a good pregnancy. Anxiety can have a negative impact on pregnancy so it’s a good idea as others have said, to enjoy the pregnancy and try and be a positive support to her.
