Excited & Scared

[JustThatGirl]

HI everyone. It's been awhile since I've been on here. I've been working full time and school full time.
I took a pregnancy test the other day and it was positive Now, I know this isn't really Crohn's related but I do have Crohn's and would like some advice.
I have read Crohn's doesn't increase your chances of miscarriage but I am scared to DEATH of miscarriage right now. I haven't been taking my Pentasa lately because I'm scared to take it too. It seems my Crohn's hasn't been too active this last month, and maybe this is why.I think I am about 5 weeks along.
I'm sorry. I'm just really scared, happy, overwhelmed and excited :ybatty:and could use some advice I am scared because I do want this and I don't want anything to happen
I know when I stress myself out that I usually get really bad stomach pains so I'm trying not to worry too much but I can't help it.
IF anyone has positive stories or anything to say I would greatly appreciate it.
I am scheduling an appointment Monday too, will I be a high-risk pregnancy? I have read some people who have Crohn's they give the title to, just to be cautious.

5 weeks pregnant :dance:

Fortunately for me I was in a good drug free remission with both of my pregnancies! The Crohn's went completely away, solid bms too, with but I had to keep some Metamucil around at the beginning because I got backd up with both, and a couple glasses of it paved the way for two really enjoyable pregnancies. I flared after delivery with both, and was back on meds by the time each was 6 months old. They are 10 and 7.5 years old now and I remember telling my GI that he needed to figure out a way to trick my body into thinking I was pregnant all of the time, because it was the best I've felt since being diagnosed with CD!

That seems to be fairly common. Has there been any such research? Kiny
