Pregnancy and birth are different for women with IBD. There are not only challenges that come from the disease itself but the lack of awareness about IBD during pregnancy can lead to less than optimal treatment. Brooke Abbott of The Crazy Creole Mommy Chronicles describes how she coped with ulcerative colitis during her pregnancy and a birth that did not go as she'd hoped or as she'd expected. Learn how everything turned out in the end and find out what Brooke and Amber think pregnant women with IBD should do to prepare for birth and for those first few weeks with a new baby.   Web sites mentioned in this episode: Mother to Baby: https://mothertobaby.org/La Leche League: https://www.llli.org/Kelly Mom: https://kellymom.com/Breastmilk Donations: https://www.hmbana.org/ Find Brooke Abbott, The Crazy Creole Mommy Chronicles at: Blog: https://crazycreolemommy.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrazyCreoleMama Twitter: https://twitter.com/CrzyCreoleMommy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crazycreolemama/ Find Amber J Tresca at: Verywell: https://www.verywell.com/ibd-crohns-colitis-4014703 Blog: http://aboutibd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ibdcrohns/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/aboutIBDPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/aboutibd/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/about_IBD/ "About IBD with Amber Tresca" © Cooney Studio http://cooneystudio.com/
