I've had Crohn's since 2013 and mostly managed my symptoms without medications. I recently had about 14inches of my small and large intestines removed plus my appendix due to a perforation right before a big stricture I had since the beginning. I know that people have had more taken out and had successful pregnancies but I'm wondering if anyone has the same incision down their middle and around their belly button (about 4inches long). I also have/had (?) an umbilical hernia from my first pregnancy. I'm wondering how this will affect me if I get pregnant again as that's the highest point of growth. Interested in anyone that manages Crohn's naturally and has had kids, as well. Thank you!
