Hi, I'm Maggie and I have Crohn's disease. I am thrilled to be here sharing my personal experiences with Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as living with an ostomy. I'm proud to share a little bit from a clinical experience as well, having worked as a GI pediatric nurse and ostomy telehealth nurse. I am so glad you are here. ♥ #infertility #crohnsdisease #ostomy
My sister-in-law had three pregnancies with Crohn’s and an ostomy. Two girls and a boy. Hopefully you will be able to fulfill you desire for a pregnancy.
Happy that you found someone who has been there and done that. She can be your guiding light as you and your husband walk this path together. God bless you on your journey to parenthood.😊😊😊
Maggie & Meghan… what a dynamic duo! 🙏🏻♥️😘
I don't have an ostomy, but we didn't have any fertility issues until baby #4. First 3, if we wanted a baby, we just stopped birth control and conceived that year.. With our 4th, t took 3 years to conceive him (no outside fertility help, just a long time very actively trying). We wanted one more after him if possible so after I gave birth to him, we decided not to use birth control, assuming it would probably take years again, if we could conceive again at all. I was nursing 24/7, and when he was only 2 months old we conceived twins. We had 3 baby boys in only 11 months. Conception can be so random when all connects, and sometimes there is no reason to when it happens.
Yes! Conception is dependent upon so very many factors. Congratulations on your many blessings!
I hope your story assures Maggie too. 🙏🏻
Two inspiring women, educating and empowering other women to advocate for themselves. ❤ Great video!
I'm so glad about this conversation! Thank you both from the bottom of my heart! ❤❤❤ I'm currently in this process being pregnant after proctocolectomy and with ileostoma. My experience is medical professionals I've met so far have little to no experience with pregnant patients. I was lucky enough to find an ostomy nurse who had had pregnant patients before but my midwife and my obgyn have no idea really. So it's difficult.
Great video! I dont have an ostomy but i am a fisiotherapist and its very important to listen to testimonies like this.

You, guys, are awesome! It’s so encouraging to see you both discussing these topic so openly and honestly.❤ I wish you both tons of luck and happiness!❤️❤️❤️
i'm SO glad you did this video !! i had heard about her but i don't have instagram (and don't want to get it). I had a total proctocolocetomy as well and have wondered about these same issues. we have our miracle rainbow baby before ostomy surgery but i hope to try for one more and this gives me hope !! prayers you get your babies too Maggie !
I love being a part of your journey! You got me through mine. Could not be more excited for you and Zach and praying your blessed with a baby!
Was there any mention of risks of potential parastomal hernias with vaginal delivery. I myself wouldn't have this problem as a 75-year-old. However, I have had 2 parastomal hernias just from passing the dreaded mucous 😢 despite supporting myself through the process. I would like to thank you for sharing your ongoing journey. I can't wait until you post that you are pregnant. Take care ❤❤
I haven't really talked about it much and I certainly don't have an ostomy, but had a rod in my back at age 10. At that point I hadn't had a period yet let alone any concern around what that surgery would mean as far as being pregnant and having children. Because I'm also paralyzed from the waist down there was knowledge that and I had known at least one adult with my disability it seemed possible but it required a C-section. Since I've gotten older to where there was a point I wanted to be a mom I learned there is a little more to it like potentially being on bed rest for the later part and the scar on my back opening as a result of skin stretching. I'm on the later end of where pregnany comes with risks as it is without the disability related ones.
Maggie... what are you & Zac waiting for???? You go guys! you are both a lovely couple & supportive & would make beautiful parents! xxx
Stay tuned! Thank you!!
Hello, and I have to say this was a very informative video as I am very impressed as that you can have a child naturally thank you wish I have had all this information earlier in my life .as I had mine c section and not good .so thank you both and take care 🙂
Thank you so much
Justva cautuon with clomud- it can lead to multiple birth, byt also it can overstimulate to the pount you develio a cyst- whuch is what happened to me. I was almost onnthe point of a rupture , was in teribke pain and was told I couldn"t take it again. Ironically i fell pregnant wirh twins the following month. I lost one jf tge babies 😥but my daughter is the surviving twin. Ive had two sons since despite a lifetime of colitis and two types of cancer.
You two young wimen are amaxing to share your stories. You are such good role models and examples of the normality despite major surgery.
I was a nidwide for 8 years here in tge UK ahdcdekuvered several ladies with ostomies. It gave me great comfort, as I knew i would need one at some point.
The stars don't have to align if it's me. I was told to forget about having a baby and I more or less did until I decided after 8 years to stop the pills to see what would happen. I expected nothing would happen. I know I conceived my son immediately. Surprise! My second was conceived on the vacation we took during the weekend I expected to be fertile. We had more or less tried the second time for three months but had no success. Why? Easy answer. We bought a house and moving, wallpaper, paint and plumbing got in the way. So a trip to Carmel's California coast did it. Thereafter, we had to be very careful because it was clear that the girl who wasn't supposed to conceive or carry her own children was a baby machine.
Pregnancy wasn't a joy for me. I was nauseous. I had delivery complications and a hemorage after delivery. I was weak, I was exhausted during the early months of being a new mother. It was so much easier to mother my stepkids. Two of them were older when I first met the guy who was going to be my husband. Honestly, I felt no difference between my three step kids and my two birthed kids. I still have a tendency to love anything put into my arms. Puppy's, stray kittens, grandkids. It's just how I am. If my husband wouldn't have had a conniption at the thought of more kids I could have adopted a few more. He was finished at five, though.
I'm happy that you and Zack have decided to at least start thinking about having children and begin the fertility inquiry. Having kids was the hardest thing I ever did but it was the most rewarding. Being a mom isn't all unicorns and rainbows. Once you start down that path there is no getting off it. You are a mom for life. That's it! But there is lots of fun mixed into the work and lots of proud moments and celebrations. It complicates a marriage because you have to take off the mother hat and put on the wife one and the switch from chief cook and bottle washer to seductress is a hard one. But it is managed every day by people everywhere so you will manage it too.
I wish you luck and I wish you an easy baby. I got a couple of ADHD kids I didn't expect but they bring me as much joy as the calmer more conventionally wired ones. The whole pack of them are in their 50s and 60s now and doing well, so I'm a contented old lady who can enjoy the friendship that comes with adult kids who have their own lives. It's a good way to to end this post. I know you are made to mother and Zack takes most things in stride so he'll be a great parent too. However your story proceeds it will be a full life with lots of unexpected turns. Every step is an adventure and a surprise. Get ready!
God bless you two, thanks for the videos, though this one isn't for me. (lol) but your videos help many.
such a great informative video
Does Meghan have a youtube channel?
I don't believe so, but she is on Instagram! Emc_brown
Cause a nervous child bleeds from their rectum, usually?!
Thank you for these videos. I only wish I found the Illestomy ones a little earlier before my rectum was removed. I was lucky that the Illeostomy was reversed after 5 weeks. You're lucky you didn't go through sex ed in the 50's and 60's. Then it was a fact that if you had sex, you would go blind.
My OBGYN actually suggested vaginal delivery once/if I ever get pregnant. I have a history of Crohn's with EC fistulas so c-section would be riskier.
Has Meghan only had the one Crohn's surgery? I know it was an extensive surgery, but curious to know if it was all done at once or in stages.
Thank you for this video. I guess I have more technical questions, such as, when the baby is active and moving around is your ostomy more likely to leak, or when your intestines are moved up as the baby grows, are there any output or blockage issues, or when in labor were they having to stop and empty the ostomy while pushing?
Hello
Please save the video
random but you would look so good as a blonde!
With all the crap Meghan is going through you tell her she needs to add bleach to her hair to improve her looks???? Please go away!
How manipulative, from the doctor
The door to possible parenthood is opening Maggie, continue to push on it until you can walk through. 💖 🐨 🦘🦘 🤗
