I have recently been Dx w/ probable Crohn's and am at the tail end of a flair.
One of the scariest things has been the thought of pregnancy. I'm starting to get that bug, but I have several factors that make me a high risk pregnancy.
1- I had a DVT and a PE and massive internal bleeding when I was 16 and at one point they thought it was Factor 8 or the BCP's I was on.
2- Crohn's
Before I was even Dx w/ IBD my OB said that she would probably want me to be on Heparin inj daily to prevent clotting. But from what I know crohn's also changes your clotting and heparin would be a bad idea.
I mean if I'm going to be bedridden and risk losing a baby and my own life, is it selfish to consider? I'm just wondering if there are other things anyone has heard of to decrease your risk or clotting w/ pregnancy w/o exacerbating crohn's?
