I am wondering if anyone with Ulcerative Colitis has had a second pregnancy and had any flare ups with the 2nd? With my first daughter I had a bad flare up starting in the 6th month lasted well after I had her. I am wondering if the chances of me flaring up again with this pregnancy is pretty high as well? I know a lot of it just depends on the person, but I am just curious.. Dr’s don’t know a whole lot about UC and pregnancy either …
