Finally pregnant

  Well, finally after a year with no meds and trying to get pregnant, the day has finally come.  Any advice from other pregnant crohns women out there would be wonderful. Its great to actually drink a can of coke every once in a while...lol.  As for the rest of my diet....as I am generally low fat because anything with fat kills my gut i do have to increase that a little so that I can gain weight...thats gonna be really hard...as I have been sitting at 120pds to 130pds at 5'10, the docs not overly concerned yet so we will see.

I hope September finds you well, and that all the parents out there are relaxing a bit while the kiddles start school.....

I wish you all the best......Congrats

Congrats!!

Congrats.
When I was pregnant I felt better then ever when it came to my crohns (which is normal they say with the hormonal changes, you can actually feel really great for that time) so MAYBE you'll be able to get away with eating some of those more fatty things to help. I found Materna was great for a vitamin supplement (and I think it boosted my immune system, I never got a single cold or anything on it). However DON'T stop taking any current meds or anything for the crohns cause the minute you have the baby, its almost really easy to hit a flare again. I've heard alot say they felt great pregnancy like me and then after baby was born-flare....like I got.

Congrats to you and your family. I hope that this pregnancy goes well for you and keeps your Crohn's at bay. Good luck.
