Pregnancy and Pancreatitis

[Guest guest]

Hello to Everyone,

It has been a few months since I have posted but I actively read the

board to keep up with everyone. I am 33 weeks pregnant and

currently in the hospital with another flare-up. Since April I have

been hospitalized 10 times including this most recent visit. It has

been quite a challenge the past few months but with the support of

my wonderful husband we are making it. I receive my care at MCV/VCU

Hospital in Richmond, VA and they take super care of me and my

future bundle of joy. My question goes out to the women who have

suffered through pancreatitis and pregnancy. Since I have been

pregnant my attacks come every 2 and 1/2 weeks. Before the pregnancy

my attacks were every 2 to 3 months. My question is the frequency of

attacks after the pregnancy. To those women who have been in my

situation....were your attacks less frequent after the baby? Also,

were you able to breastfeed with the medications you were

prescribed? Most doctors say ok with what I am on with the

exception of Zofran. (not enough research on the med and

breastfeeding) Thanks for any info given.
