I have crohns.. I was born with it and mayo clinic diagnosed me with it. I was under the impression I would have a rough pregnancy. I'm 11 weeks and I haven't experienced any problems. I know my dr. Had said he had a few other people he had seen over the years and no complications. Before I found out I was pregnant I had morning sickness in the evenings and I thought it was a flare because of the cramping. I try to eat and take fiber and it has helped. I know crohns is different for everyone and what foods trigger it.
Hay! I have ulcerative colitis & this is my 1st pregnancy. I've been in remission for almost 2 yrs soo luckily I haven't had problems with it. Are you on any meds right now? Cus that should atleast get it under control but I agree with havincinco. If your crohns pain is unbearable then its probably not right with your pregnancy either. Who cares how many times you go to tha hospital .. this is you & your baby's health. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM! Lol goodluck tho mama.
Thank you! Its so great to hear I'm not alone in dealing with this issue. That alone helps so much. Thank you for the advice I will def use it as well.
A friend of mine has crohns really bad too. I think in high school she had a 10 inches removed and spent the better part of the year on steroids and in the hospital. All that aside, at 35 years old, she just had her 4th baby last month and is doing better, but each pregnancy has been hard on her- cant lie. She basically "toughs it out" while pregnant and then deals with the crohns after delivery. Its difficult for her to tell the difference too, so she waits until something feels very wrong on her personal "crohns scale" and then goes in.
since this is your first pregnancy the normal pains will be foreign to you, but if your crohns type symptoms become unbearable, it's probably not right for your pregnancy either.
sorry I cant be more help. Crohns is such a personal thing and everyone feels it differently and with different severity.
Thank you so much! When it come to the crohns i.feel like an expert. However, pregnancy is a different story. I'm still learning and have yet to learn so much! Thank you for the advice I will def use it!
& with vomiting my doctor said as long as you don't see floatys afterwards its ok, and normal. Although most womens morning sickness is gone by 22weeks, I will get it every once in a while and I'm 36 weeks
Well.. most obgyn's are open mon-sat(8am-5pm) if you could I would go into see your doctor instead like if your having pains at 5am I would wait and go in at 8.., idk what chrohns is so idk much to tell you about that but cramping during pregnancy will happen alot from dehydration, so if your cramping go get 2or3 bottles of cold water and drink them, then lay on your left side.. if its pregnancy related it will usually go away after that, but if cramping persists more than 2 hours and you've tried this go in cause something is prob wrong
