I was 5 months pregnant when my partner was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis.
Unknown to me he was prescribed and took Azathioprine 175 mg and Ifleximab, Mesalazine granules and Methotrexate. I was totally unaware of the medications he was taking and continued to have sex with my partner and thus may of inadvertently subject my baby to possible secondary negative side effects to my baby through sperm and body fluids. I am deeply worried that my baby may of been hurt. I am also concerned about the secondary side effects to other children and myself - such as coming into contact with sweat, sperm or sleeping next to my partner while he is on these cytotoxic drugs.
