I asked my colon doctor if he recommended an OB and he gave me the name
Of 2 doctors who have worked with jpouches before. No high risk dr mentioned and I'm 6 months

I loved having one with my first pregnancy but it wasn't necessary and had a regular OB for my second. I just enjoyed all the extra ultrasounds and pictures.

my OB referred me to one at first, but after the first appointment and discussion about our birth plan, they told me there was no need to see them anymore.

I started with high risk, but they were bored by me, because I wasn't really high risk enough... so I switched practices, and had a regular OB/GYN do my C section (fully aware of my history), and they had no issues at all.

I had one - but then I was quite unwell the whole time with pouchitis that was not controlled and spinal cord issues. It's proboably not necessary but you do want an OB with some Jpouch experience.

I was the opposite - I had a high risk dr and was sooo glad I did as I had a near total obstruction during my first pregnancy and it was day to day if I might need surgery at 22 weeks. I kept the high risk dr for pregnancy 2 but had no problems.

I saw a regular OB for the first trimester, but sought him out because of his experience with 2 previous j-pouch patients. The hospital he was in closed down his office abruptly and I had to find a new doctor, so I went to a high-risk guy and was very glad I did. I felt I got the extra care my "different" pregnancy needed and he agreed with my suggestion that we have a colo-rectal surgeon consult on the C-section, which I was also glad about.
