colitis and pregnant

[addie25]

Hi everyone,

I have colitis and I am 5 and a half weeks pregnant. Over the past year (without medication) my colitis has been fine. I recently started getting little flair ups be4 I was pregnant (prob from stress) and I noticed it is happening more now that I am pregnant. I must say it is not like it was a couple years ago. I would be so sick bent over in pain running to the bathroom (TMI sorry) I was scared to go anywhere or eat anything but it has gotten to the point that when I get sick it does not last long and it is not as painful. And normally after I get sick nothing lingers I feel fine.

Now pregnant I notice that even after I get sick I feel weak and my stomach can not handle taking in more food without upsetting it. I have had a constant stomach ach (not really painful just this lingering feeling)

What should I do about this?

I'm not sure hun, didn't want to read and run. My mum has ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease - it's a horrible thing to have to put up with, especially being pregnant I would imagine! Maybe your GP can refer you to a specialist - do you have one already? Or a nutritionist? xxx
