I’m so sorry to hear all about your challenges ladies. I’m one year post takedown and 5 and a half months pregnant. I had one instance where I thought I had an obstruction but I started a liquid diet and it seems to help. I see both my surgeon and gastro doc in a regular basis. My gastro and rheumatologist (I have arthritis and am on Cimzia for that) both suggested I see a maternal fetal medicine doctor. It’s been determined that I deliver by ceserian section with my surgeon on hand. I have had to switch OB practices to make sure I can deliver where my surgeon is located.
I’m afraid something will happen during delivery that will affect my pouch that I haven’t even though about postpartum, with the uterus shrinking and such. Now I’m thinking I should come up with a plan for that as well???
It sounds like although the pouch is a good thing for the moms in terms of dealing with colitis, crohns, etc, but try can’t really determine a plan of action for during an after pregnancy!
