Hi Crazy Cat... not sure if you'll read this as you last posted a long while ago, but I saw this today and wanted to get in touch. I am just 7 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with UC two years ago. I had a flare up at the end of last year and was taking a high dose of cortisone when I got pregnant, only to miscarry at 8 weeks. I can't help wondering whether the two were connected. This time I was not taking any meds when I got pregnant....but have been struggling with the UC recently, especially, like you, at night. The pregnancy seems to ahve made everything worse. Can I ask how your midwife reacted to your situation? Any concerns or advice? Although I have several healthy pregnancies in the past, this is the first with UC, so anything you could tell me would be lovely to hear. all the best to both you and newmom19. Hope all is going well xx
