I am Michelle Wicks. I suffer with ulcerative colitis and I had a baby in 2007 with the flare up. I wasn't taking that particular medication. But I believe once you are pregnant you shouldn't be taking that prescribed drug. I was taking sulfasalazine and my baby ended up being born premature. You should ask your doctor to monitor you closely. You could end up with infection in the membranes andif this is not detected early your baby will be born premature. You might need amnio sentesis test but that has alot of risks, or nother option is vaginal ultrasound. That would be the only way to detect any deformity. You might be the lucky one to not experience any of those. But you need to be aware that if you are over the age of 39 you are at risk of genetic disorders. Don't let the percentages put you off. Your out come might not have affect what so ever on your unborn baby. Please look after yourself and that unborn baby and make sure you excercise with apropriate methods for pregnant women. You see it all depends on your age whether or not your baby will be born prematurely, and again please don't let this put you off. Good luck!
