While being pregnant, how can you tell the difference between symptoms of pregnancy or Crohn's disease?

by Symptom Advice on March 6, 2011

I have had Crohn's disease for 7 years. we have wanted to start a family for years but I was constantly sick.The doctors kept reminding me that my clock is ticking (I'm 36). I recovered a little from a never ending flare up, after a miscarriage early this year and since then went off Prednisone completely. Now I am 7 weeks pregnant again. Since finding out I was pregnant I decided to stop taking mesalasine to give this baby a good healthy chance. I am currently feeling sick all the time with nausea, I am finding it very difficult but how can I tell if my symptoms are related to the pregnancy and not to my Crohn's. I am finding it hard to be happy about being pregnant when the symptoms are so similar to Crohn's. I am being being reminded by friends that this will pass after the 1st trimester…I really hope so. Has anyone else experience this while pregnant? thank you.
