Crohns & pregnancy

[Andria]

Hi everyone! I have been a member of this forum for a few months, and i need some advice. I have been diagnosed with crohns since 2010 and have been on remicade & imuran combination for just over a year. My husband and i are trying to get pregnant and i do not want to risk getting off either medication in case of a flare during pregnancy. My doctor also agrees with this decision since i feel great and the colonoscopy i had in april 2012 proved that i am doing very very well. Please let me know if anyone has been pregnant on this combination and how everything turned out since i am worried of any possible harm to the baby. Thank u so much

I have not been on the combo together, especially while pregnant. however, I did take Humira while pregnant and the baby was completely healthy. There are a lot of people who have taken Remicade and even imuran while pregnant. You should take a look around http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=45 There is lots of information of people who are pregnant or have been pregnant with Crohn's on meications.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!! how far along are you?
