I am 32 and have had Crohns for 14 years. I am happy to say that 2 years ago I had a healthy baby boy. Since then and all during my pregnancy I had no signs or symptoms of Crohns at all.
They say pregnancy can heal things. I think it has for me.
I am very, very relieved!
Good Luck!

Having a baby with crohns by: Anonymous
I am happy to say that yes it. I have had crohns for over 10 years. More than 7 of them I was not officially diagnosed and now I have 2 beautiful happy health boys. I had to go to a high rick OBGYN which was no problem. She just watched me closer than a regular obgyn would have. I was on bed rest with both boys. As long as you keep in touch with both your GI and OBGYN you should be fine. In my case after I had my last child my Crohns got really bad and I went through a year of operations and complications (not related to being pregnant) and now it is not recommended that I get pregnant again. I do remember that when I was pregnant my crohns sysmptons went away which meant I felt really great for 9 months!!
