Pregnant with Crohn's
I found out last week I am about four weeks pregnant (a planned pregnancy, we just got married 3 months ago!).
My stomach is easy-ish to predict in terms of Crohn's symptoms - i.e. I get up in the morning, once I eat or drink something I have to use the bathroom.
However, in the past week, my BMs have been more solid and I can usually wait a bit to go to the bathroom.
Is this normal? My Crohn's is currently in remission, but I'll admit I don't monitor my eating much (I eat a lot of sugar and dairy, for example). I read online that your Crohn's can improve while pregnant, so now I'm curious.
And, tangentially related, any mamas / soon to be mamas out there with Crohn's that have any tricks/tips for me? I'm currently on Inflectra and Imuran, and I already started a prenatal vitamin and folic acid because we started trying about 2 months ago.
Thanks!
