Crohn's Pregnancy

Go to infantrisk.org and read about the different meds and pregnancy & breastfeeding. Most of our meds are ok for both.

I was on Remicade and gave birth about 5 weeks ago. I had no complications from the Remicade, although I struggled staying in remission from extreme morning sickness. She was small because of all of that.

I just gave birth to twin boys 12 days ago.  I was on remicade my entire pregnancy and had no complications.  The only drug I know not to take during pregnancy is methotrexate.  I also took apriso during the pregnancy.  My boys are healthy.  I was in remission during my pregnancy and felt great.  Unfortunately I have gone into a bad flare and have to see my GI doc on Monday.  He's probably going to put me on a steroid taper.  Just speak about your meds with your ob and GI before you get pregnant and everything should be fine.  Also if you're in remission now the chances that you'll stay that way during your pregnancy are good.  There's the 1/3 rule.  1/3 will get better, 1/3 will get worse, and 1/3 will stay the same.  Thankfully I was the 1/3 that got better with this pregnancy and with my first pregnancy.  Good luck

I forgot to mention that I was on Humira while pregnant and had a great pregnancy and gave birth full term to a healthy baby. I was in remission prior to getting pregnant and stayed in remission throughout my pregnancy. I flared following giving birth.
