30 weeks pregnant...

[amandaerin]

I'm finding that each day is getting harder and harder to get through. I sob a lot from the pain and just don't want to move. I just want it over with but I still want my little girl to be healthy and full term. These last 10 weeks are going to seem like an eternity... I don't know what to do. I'm hoping my sanity can last through this pregnancy. I'm so happy to be having a kid... I was told as a teenager that it wasn't exactly possible for me... but I never thought it would be like this. I had hopes that my Crohn's would be put into remission, and it seemed like it was a couple weeks ago... then one stressful week and all that hope is gone. I can't get off the toilet and the pain is unbearable.

The only thing keeping me going is the fact that she is so healthy and my hubby is there for me...

Hi, Amanda!

I'm so sorry you're having such difficulty with your pregnancy. Have your Crohn's symptoms gotten worse? Were you flaring when you got pregnant? Are you taking any medications?

:hug: So sorry Crohn's is having such a negative effect on such a happy time.

They have gotten worse... which I didn't think was possible lol.

I was flaring and on 10 mg/kg of Remicade and 40 mg of prednisone when I got pregnant (I'm still on the same meds), that's why everyone was so shocked when I got pregnant and even more shocked that she's still doing so great.

It's supposed to be a happy time, my OB agrees. She feels horrible for me and doesn't know what to do.

I'm sorry. It sounds awful, but at least in the end, you'll have your little girl to show for your troubles!

You might get more help and responses if you post in the Parenting / TTC section of the General IBD Discussion forum (here: http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=45). However, that isn't private whereas this section is.

:hug: I hope things improve for you soon.

I'm sorry you are going through this, but I'm happy that your baby is doing so great. You are in the home stretch!
