[ozmidwifery] Colitis

[Andrea Robertson]

Can anyone help me with a problem for one of my clients: 28 weeks, 1st baby, suffering from colitis and getting worse - main symptom seems to be rectal bleeding, which she says happens 3 times a day. Otherwise very fit (yoga, gym, power walks daily) and healthy (very diet conscious). From what I have read, there is not much she can do - drugs are contraindicated and the pregnancy hormones are probably exacerbating the condition, which will improve once the baby arrives. Any suggestions most welcome!

Many thanks,

Andrea
