I have had Crohn's for 26 yrs. First diagnosed after having my first child. I just kept losing weight, pooping blood and went to several doctors before I found one who sent me to a gastro who put me in the hospital for a month, did biopsy etc. and made the diagnosis. When I found out I was pregnant the second time I stopped my maintainance drug for the whole pregnancy and I stayed in remmission through the pregnancy. It didn't hit me with my second delivery until my son was approximately 9 months old- the doctors thought I wasn't going to have a recurrence because they said it usually comes back approximated 3-6 months after delivery. But it did.

Crohns after pregnancy. by: Mandy
Hi Jen, My Crohns flared up hugely after my son was boy. Everytime I breast feed him and my uterus would contract I needed to run off to the toilet. Whilst pregnant I was on no medication and the Crohns seemed to be at bay, needless to say breast feeding didnt last very long as my poor screaming son had to wait along time for feeds while I was running back and forth to the toilet.
