hello everyone! Thanks for accepting me into the club❤️❤️. I am going through my first J-pouch pregnancy and I wanted to know has anyone experienced cramps, or blockages?? How bad were they? During what stage of pregnancy did you experience them and how long did they last?? What helped get rid of them?? HELP!!!

Hi @Ciara93 is this your first pregnancy? I had the benefit of being pregnant twice before my j-pouch so I was more accustomed to all the very weird things you feel during pregnancy.



It is very possible that cramping you are experiencing is totally normal- half way through your body is reconfiguring in some wild ways to make room! It can also be a warning sign that is totally unrelated to the j-pouch. If you’re already doing all the things (lots of water, rest, checking in with ob to make sure pre-term labor is not a concern) and still having issues may be worth checking for pouchitis.

If it is worse when baby is moving I would think it probably has more to do with the uterus than the j-pouch.
