HI there,

I'm 34 weeks pregnant. Did you have any problems with your birth? Congratulations by the way.
No one can seeem to tell me how I ma at any more risk of developing problems yet they are not keen on me having a home birth. Do you have any thoughts?


Substitute for Pentasa

I don't know of a herbal remedy but there is another medicine that is exactly like Pentasa except you only have to take it once a day. It is called Lialda. It may not be as expensive as Pentasa. You definitely wouldn't have to take as many.
