Crohn's Disease

[SavedByGrace]

Hi There,
I have also been dealing with Crohn's from 2005, was diagnosed 3 weeks after giving birth to my son, Im also thinking of having another child in the future, but the docs give me two different opinions about, just wanted to know if anyone has gone to through pregnancy with Crohn's and what has been the results or symptoms if any after giving birth, that is my main concern at this stage, also it has been suggested that if I do have a baby I should opt for c section instead of normal labour, something to do with long term side effects. Thanks for your help and tips.

Hi,
I;m new to this forum and not sure if I am posting in the right section, but I have had UC for 10 years now and my last flare up before xmas showed more like crohn's disease. I am currently on infliximab and will be indefinately. Has anyone been on this before or during pregnancy or methotrexate? I have been advised that both are not recommended during pregnancy - but my speacialist said there were studies to say they were safe to take as I need to be on something.

I don’t really have any advice for you either, but I hope you can find some comfort, and good information on pregnancy.

I did come across this blog the other day someone wrote on Crohn’s disease
