Hello Everyone, Pregnant with Crohns Disease

[nori]

Hi Everyone,

I wasnt sure if i should join the site yet as im only 5 weeks pregnant but thought what the hell! I'm really nervous about the whole pregnancy as i suffer from Crohns Disease and had a serious flare last year. I'm not fussed about any sickness, sore boobs, weight gain, stretch marks or mood swings.. all i hope for is to get through the next 9 months without a flare of my crohns and to deliver a healthy baby.

Look forward to seeing you round the site and if anyone is in the same boat it would be good to hear from you.

Hi Claire, try not to worry, I know someone who's got Chron's and she's got thru her pregnancy without a single flare up. I hope it's the same for you. xxx

Hi Welcome to the forum.

I'm not familiar with Chrons Disease, but I'd like to wish you a happy and healthy 9 months.

I have crohn's... I got through my pregnancies without any flares... apparently its really uncommon in pregnancy because Crohn's is an autoimmune disease and the pregnancy reduces your immune system... mind you once you pop it seems to come back with a vengeance

I had other complications during my pregnancy...but the crohns bit was fine...if you have any questions just pm me...
