IBD / ulcerative colitis??

Question

Hey! I was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis which is a form of IBD.  Does anyone else have this who is TTC or has experienced pregnancy with it?  Looking for similar stories, hope and inspiration! :)

Answer

I was diagnosed in 2010 with UC, haven't had a flare in about 3 years. I would have occasional symptoms if I ate bad or drank a lot but nothing too crazy.

I went off my birth control in October and started ttc in Jan and got pregnant immediately :) 9 weeks pregnant now, feeling great!  Hope it stays that way!

My Dr said while pregnant, 1/3 of people stay the same with symptoms, 1/3 get worse symptoms, and 1/3 get better.

I'm also taking lialda and azathiaprine as my Dr said to stay on it because having a flare would be worse for the baby than staying on meds.

Hope this helps and good luck!! :)
