Sorry to hear about your flare during pregnancy. I had to go on IV steroids during my second semester and then went onto oral prednisone after. I was able to completely taper off prednisone before I delivered, and I most likely would have gone the full 40 weeks, but since I have a fistula (I have Crohn's colitis), it was suggested I have a c-section, and my OB was leaving the country after my 39 weeks, so that's when I had my daughter.
Are you seeing a high risk OB? I saw one and it was helpful, she helped me feel more comfortable with the idea of being on steroids while pregnant and reassured me that it was safe. I believe if you get into remission you won't have to worry about preterm labor since it would be like any normal pregnancy, but I can't say for sure otherwise. I hope you are back to feeling better soon and can just think about your pregnancy as opposed to your IBD!
