FMT while pregnant

Postby Zapper » Fri Feb 26, 2016 9:12 am

I am currently on my 3rd relapse and found out I am pregnant. Doc thinks an FMT is our next step.
Advise? Any other women that have dealt with this?

I do not know of anyone on this site who had an FMT while pregnant. I will check with a c diff expert. Sometimes he/she answers me and sometimes not.

How far a long are you?

You may want to PM Jlady as she had c-diff throughout most of her pregnancy. You should search through her posts. I believe she did a vanco taper while pregnant. I also think that her doctor opted out of an FMT as there wasn't enough studies on any risks of FMT while pregnant. Don't quote me on this though.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I know you are going through a hard time with c-diff, but try not to let it take away the joy of pregnancy for you.
