Hello. I have had a j-pouch for a little over a year now and I am contemplating on whether or not to try to become pregnant. I have one child and I feel blessed to have him, but thought that I would like to expand my family. I have read a lot of the threads on here and am aware of the troubles becoming pregnant. I guess what I am worried about is going from feeling fantastic to having problems with my pouch during and possibly after pregnancy. I just wanted to get some input from the ladies here that have the pouch and have become pregnant and what problems, if any, they have experienced during pregnancy. I just want to be prepared. Also, I am concerned a little about nutrition. I currently take Forvia a vitamin recommended for people with UC/Chrohns, pouches etc that is chewable, but I am not sure if it will be enough. Have the doctors recommended anything specific for people with the pouch? Thank you for your help.
