Taking Remicade During Pregnancy
I am 16 weeks pregnant and just had my second remicade infusion. (I'm on an every eight week cycle for maintenance.) This is my fourth pregnancy but the first with remicade. I was really nervous about it. My doctor kept telling me that they transfered the drug to a "Class B" so it's now o.k. But I was still nervous. Then I found another forum like this one with LOTS of women who wrote in about successful pregnancies despite the meds. I decided to go for it, because my pregnancies have been horrible in the past and prednisone doesn't do the trick any more. I'm feeling great and am not worried in the least. Even my ob/gyn was completely supportive of keeping me as healthy as can be. Hope this helps.
