    Hi ReeRee I hope that you are feeling better and can get some releif from the crohns.
    My husband has Crohns desease and although he wasnt pregnant he had to change meds in order for us to get pregnant so I guess it affects both sexes.
    Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and hope the crohns settles down for you.

    Take care

    I have ulcerative colitis (which is in the same "family" as crohns). During my pregnancy I took salofalk (mesalazine) and prednisone (35mg a day for the last 4 months).

    I too was nervous about taking these medications while pregnant, but my gastroenterologist and obstetrician both assured me that it was important that I did as the most important thing for the baby was to maintain my health. As a result of this pregnancy I now have a perfect and healthy 10 month old baby boy.

    I hope that your Crohns does not flare any further during your pregnancy and fingers crossed even goes into remission.
