Crohn's disease and pregnant

[Mr SS]

Hi

I have Crohn's disease since 10 years.

My wife was pregnant the second month, and unfortunately the baby was dropped because of the (cluster load).

Was it because of Crohn's disease?

my Dr said it may be complications of the disease. But he does not know exactly.

Please I need to help. Can we try Again to get the baby?

Regards

If your wife is in good condition and not in a flare there is no reason she should not try to get pregnant UNLESS she is taking a drug where you absolutely should not get pregnant. My doctor told me to not get pregnant if I was on Methotrexate, and now while on Tysabri.

You know there could have been so many reasons why she had a miscarriage, it may have had nothing to do with the disease.

I got pregnant and had a very healthy baby while I was in a pretty big flare.

I'm so sorry for the loss of the baby. I really hope you guys can try again soon and things go more smoothly for you.

As always, make sure you talk to your doctor to make sure she is healthy enough to conceive.

I do not know what Doctor does not have sufficient information about the disease

And always makes me feel frustrated !!

Thanks a lot manzyb for your commont , this is a motivation for me to try again ^_^

Have you asked the GI doctor what they think about her getting pregnant?

 

[Mr SS]

yes he is GI Doctor

 

[Manzyb]

wow! And he can't give you any information on the disease? I think I'd get a second opinion!!

 

[Mr SS]

I do not what i will do, but i will try again..
