Sorry you're starting to feel bad but just because you're starting to notice symptoms doesn't mean you're gong to get worse. Try to think positive. On the other hand, you're not alone. I am the same way, got a cold and now I am also flaring pretty badly. Not awfully, I am just struggling to stay out of a massive flare. Right now i am kind of how you say you are, going 6 or 8x a day, usually just blood and bits but I have terrible cramping. I haven't been getting up in the night to use the bathroom, my stools have been somewhat formed, well until yesterday when I had awful D... I don't think my condition warrants prednisone but perhaps it does if yours does. What do you think? I am desperately trying to avoid getting involved in a 4 month long committment to taking drugs. I just want to beat this, just once!!! My first flare was over a year with no real remission. I finally got in a remission around 1/09 with oral 5ASAs and I was living pretty normally until last week.
Keep your chin up, things will improve. I know it must be harder because you're expecting but at least that gives you something to look forward to. Congratulations. Take it easy and try to limit stress and strain. I have stopped taking all supplements because I think they were maiking my flare worse. I do think I am starting to become anemic again...
