Pregnancy

Ostomates’ ladies share several concerns about the possibility of conceiving and delivering a healthy baby into the world. Fortunately, after several clinical trials, it has been demonstrated that an ostomy was not really a barrier to conception.

Even if an enlarged uterus does not interrupt the normal content of the bowel, one must consider the possibility that transit problems may develop during pregnancy, as in most pregnancies.

Constipation problems may develop in the final stages of pregnancy when the uterus becomes larger due to the weakening of the bowel peristalsis caused by an increased amount of progesterone.

Physical changes that accompany a pregnancy engender a temporary need for new equipment. It is important to consult a nurse specialized in ostomies so that she can provide you the necessary care and perform your monitoring throughout your pregnancy. During childbirth, a caesarean is often recommended but not compulsory.

In short, the ordeal that young ostomates women are experimenting is generally emotional. It is therefore important for them to feel supported by their family in this journey.
