Pregnant Again

I am 10 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and although I stayed on my 6MP and Remicade with my daughter . . . who was born in perfect health . . . I am having the same rush of fears I had with her.  I would love to hear some success stories as a "pick-me-up."

Thanks!

Congratulations!!

I think there a few people currently pregnant on remicade and I think there's one on 6mp too. I just had a healthy baby girl, but went off 6mp ahead of time because my bloodwork was starting to come back all over the place. If it weren't for that, I would have been on for my preg.

Congrats on your pregnancy!!! I don't have any 6mp experience for you, but I do have 2 perfectly healthy remicade,asacol,nexium, prednisone babies AND I'm 36 weeks preggo with a remicade-then-humira,asacol, nexium, prednisone baby and so far all is WELL! And I had a previous GI who told me that the data shows that women on 6mp in pregnancy have NO GREATER INCIDENCE of birth defects/complications than women who DON'T take 6mp. You already have living proof of that, so try to relax and ENJOY this pregnancy! (I know it's easier said than done)

I hope to get Pregnant in the next couple of months and I will be staying on Remicaid so I am very interested in hearing about how you are feeling.  I am a Pharma Rep and have done tons of research on the data that is available for Remicaid.  As far as I can tell the only risk is in the third trimester where weight gain might be a issue for a baby.  So if you can schedule your infussions prior and after your third trimester it might be ideal, depending on your risk situation.
