Pregnancy and Proctofoam

My doctor just gave me Proctofoam yesterday.  Anybody have experience using this while pregnant?  I know he gave it to me but I am a little afraid to use it.  Just started canasa too but it was a Cat B.

I was on prednisone from 22 weeks on while pregnant. Also took 6mp and did canasa. Along with my other meds. My son was born perfectly healthy at 38 weeks....8 lb 3 oz. And is doing absolutly wonderful at 7 months old. You need to take care of your colitis to take care of that baby. Good luck!

My understanding of pred use during pregnancy is that there is a very, very slight increased risk of cleft palate if it's used in the first trimester. I think that the risk of that would be much lower if you're using proctofoam. Honestly, if I were flaring badly, and not getting better with other meds, I'd for sure use proctofoam in the first tri, and would strongly consider pred.

 Hi, I just had a baby a year ago and was flaring for the 3rd to 5th month, and was using cortifoam and the hycort enemas to get things under control.  My GI and OBGYN both said they were safe because its used rectally and the amount that can get absorbed is minimal.  I also was on 8tablets of salofalk.  I used the same meds for all three pregnancies and all babies were born healthy.

Boxermom2 - I am 22 weeks pregnant and my flare is almost completely under control but I think I am still slightly inflamed in the rectum. My GI started me on proctofoam on Monday - so far so good...not seeing any more blood. I think I was also having some bleeding from hemmis and my GI said the foam would help that as well. He has been very good to explain how meds relate to my pregnancy so I trust him that it is okay...
