I was diagnosed with UC in August 2006. In October that same year I found out I was pregnant with twins and in December I lost both babies. By January 2008 I finally made it into remission. I am completely off all meds and watch my diet. We were not planning on having another baby, but not much else to do during the blizzards. So now I am 23 weeks pregnant. I have normal bowel movements. Sometimes I have a little pain in my left side. I fear the UC could comeback after I have the baby. I am wondering if I should take some Asacol as a preventative or not. I don't want to hurt the baby, but don't want the UC to make a comeback.

I will mention it to my doctor Wednesday, but others thoughts too.

Thanks,

Snookiebow

I've always heard that a healthy mom is very important during pregnancy and if that means you need to take maintenance meds that's what you need to do. Many women have given birth to healthy babies while on a variety of UC drugs. Maintaining your health is key right now.
