6 Months Pregnant and Feeling Great!

Hello All,

I just wanted to share good news that I am 6 months pregnant and feeling great!  I have had Crohns since I was 18 (30 now) and have had some pretty tough times where I was depressed from illness never thinking that I would ever feel this good again.  I have been in remission for 5 years and am now pregnant with my first child.  I am so thankful that I kept the faith that I would feel better one day. A message to everyone feeling low right now that it is possible to feel good again.

Take care all and health, happiness for the new year!

Congratulations! And thanks for sharing your good news!

I was diagnosed with Crohn's at age 19. Like you, I thought I would never be well enough to have a baby, but 7 weeks ago, at age 32, I gave birth to a healthy boy :) I had only been in remission for less than a year but it gave me what I needed to go ahead with my dream to start a family.
