Pregnant 7 months and the last couple weeks have had more leakage from jpouch.  Just wondering if others have experienced it.  Figure just like the bladder gets pushed on so does the pouch. Doc said I could take Imodium but don't want to take too much so have been increasing my fiber. Any suggestions?

Your frequency will definitely increase (with possible leakage) as the baby grows and pushes on your pouch.  I was definitely going to the bathroom much more in the last couple months.  I took Unisom to sleep so I wasn't waking with every urge to go to the bathroom.  I never did have leakage though.  The only time I ever had leakage was when my pouchitis wasn't controlled.  Keep that in mind too as pouchitis is common during pregnancy.  If your GI thinks your leakage is due to pouchitis, a quick round of antibiotics might help you out to make it a more comfortable last couple months.
