have crohns and just had baby
Question:
Ihave a16 month old and had a real break from my crohns when I was pregnant. It didn’t take long to revert to my usual annonyng self after the pregnancy. My doctor said I made my own steroids when I was pregnant and that is why I felt so good. I’m looking to get pregnant agiain this year and hope to go into remisssion again. Hope all goes well and enjoy your baby. My daughter us jumping all over me, so this message is messy

Hi Jennifer, I have a 5 yr old son and 1.5 yr old twins. I have Chrohns/Colitis and have had two surgeries and go in for a third next week. It has been a battle and a huga source of guilt and disappointment when my illness has made it hard for me to care for my children. These surgeries will hopefully bring me to a more competent place physically as I long to have more energy for my littles. I can totally empathize withyou and would chat as well. Dori

I have a July baby too (only she is 10). That is wonderful! I am so glad that you are feeling well. Get LOTS of sleep.

Congrats on the *new* pregnancy!!! When are you do? Rebecca 
Thanks – in July. It’s amazing how different it is to be pregnant when you are in remission, even though my UC wasn’t that bad at the time. I just hope I don’t pay for it with a doozie of a flareup postpartum!!!

Anyone out there with a new baby and also fighting crohns or colitis. Need someone to talk to? My baby is 4 months old and my crohns/colitis is very active, trying to find new meds to take, still on prednisone. Just looking for someone with this in common to chat with. Jennifer

Jennifer, Hi, yes I have a new baby… he is 7 1/2 month old.. they do grow fast and it is hard.. since I have had him I have become active.. my gi says this happens to some after having a baby… going to doc tomorrow to see what is going on ( been having the tests past 2 weeks ) so if you need anyone to chat with, go ahead and email me.. I know sometimes it is hard with a new baby.. I feel like I am the worst Mom in the world cause at times I cannot even pick him up cause the pain is so bad.

My baby isn’t new anymore (he just turned 3 – where does the time go?), but I also had a nasty flareup shortly after he was born. Prednisone did eventually lick it for me, but it took a while. Silver lining – I had gained 40 pounds with that pregnancy, and I lost them all. I also managed to keep breastfeeding throughout, that helped support me through it, I think. After that bad bout I went into remission for an unknown reason, and I’ve been there ever since (tfu tfu tfu). I’m now pregnant again, and still in remission (double tfu tfu tfu). Feel free to drop a note any time.
