Crohn's and Pregnancy?

Question

Is anyone else that's pregnant also have Crohn's disease? What have your experiences been? I'm a bit nervous about it, even though my GI specialist said that the Crohn's tends to go in remission or settle down once pregnant.

Answer

Three kids n it went away with each kid i loved it!!!! Dint get it but loved it!!

Answer

Ulcerative Colotis here, which I've been told shares some similar symptoms to Crohn's. I had my son last May and my UC was basically non existent my entire pregnancy, besides the last two weeks. It was amazing!! Had an "uneventful" totally amazing home birth, then had a massive flare a week later. Could be from the iron supplement I was put on, or the shifting hormone levels that triggered it, but I hope you experience a Crohn's free pregnancy!

Answer

I was diagnosed with crohns in high school but don't take medicine or see a specialist or anything for it now (probably really horrible, I know. But I lost insurance when I went to college). And At first I was wondering if it would flare up during pregnancy but so far everything has been perfect! I feel better than when I'm not pregnant. I hope you have the same experience.

Answer

I was told the same thing about multiple sclerosis...that oddly pregnancy was the best thing for it because I wouldn't have any relapses during that time. Weird!
