Hi there everyone, I'm just wondering if anybody can offer me any kind of advice. So just to give a quick run down, diagnosed July 15 with mild crohns, September 15 got pregnant while still in a flare, January 16 hospitalised for 3 weeks with bad flare kicked up a fuss to go home to my children got home following week found a lump in my tummy which turns out to be an abdominal abscess and readmitted, very complicated with being pregnant (17 weeks) so try to treat it with antibiotics and hospitalised for another 3 weeks, heartbroken at this stage because already have 3 kids at home, sent home Feb with lots of antibiotics and monitored closely, week later collapse at home with sepsis and end up in ICU with severe sepsis, fistula, vre , e coli, and intestinal failure, 23 weeks at this stage and expected to lose baby but we pull through and released in March 16,april 16 fistula bursts through abdomen and have to wear a stoma bag to collect pus, diagnosed with gestational diabetes (sure why not lol) and daughter born at 34 weeks (happy and healthy now) brought in for bowel resection in November 16 and doing really well since. Now after all that you'd think I was just happy to be here but my weight is making me so depressed I look 6 months pregnant I was on pred from July 15 to August 16 then 15mg of hydrocortisone up until March 17, I have put on 42 pounds and I just feel that no matter what I do it won't shift, I walk every night, I've done marathons, I try to eat well and it just won't go away, is this normal? My daughter is 13 months now and resection was done 7 months ago so thought I would have seen a big improvement by now. I just don't feel like me anymore and I'm so paranoid about my face, legs, bum and belly,doesn't help a neighbour told me her stomach was huge like mine yesterday, I cried my eyes out when I got home. Any tips appreciated
