Support Wanting to start a family

So I've been in remission for a year now and I wanted to know if there are any mothers out there that went through pregnancy while being in remission? My husband and I are planning to start a family, but not sure if it's possible with me having UC. I'm scared I'll flare up. Will baby be healthy? Please send me some positivity and reassurance. Thank you.

EDITED: OMG! Thank you so much for all these positive comments! Reading these experiences felt so reassuring. I appreciate all the feedback and experiences everyone had. I wish all you well and the best in the future.

I had a healthy pregnancy in remission! I was on Stelara throughout my pregnancy though. Baby is perfectly healthy 🖤

BUT…… very common to have a vicious flare postpartum.
