Hi, I'm Maggie and I have Crohn's disease. I am thrilled to be here sharing my personal experiences with Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as living with an ostomy. I'm proud to share a little bit from a clinical experience as well, having worked as a GI pediatric nurse and ostomy telehealth nurse. I am so glad you are here. ♥ #ibd #crohnsdisease #ostomy

"That's enough internet for today" has a different meaning today! I don't need to watch anything else, this is the best video I could have seen today! Congratulations you two!

[minemoony]

In your Intro your eyes are sparkling soooo much, I knew you had great news right away. I wish you the most boring and peaceful and healthy pregnancy! ❤

[hexhex]

some little baby doesn't realize just how lucky they are..the stars have aligned to have such an awesome Mom & Dad

[RobynRoberto]

I’m so excited for you! I had a similar thing happen last year. Was told we could only get pregnant via IVF because my right tube was blocked and I had very low egg reserve. We decided to wait until the fall to do IVF and took the summer to get healthy. Found out we were naturally pregnant in July and in August we found out we were having twins! Now a proud mama to two perfect boys and couldn’t be happier. Sending you so much positivity and healthy baby vibes!

I remember feeling so proud of that little blob on the ultrasound screen. The same pride you feel when they learn to walk, go off to kindergarten, graduate from high school... it starts from the beginning!

Congratulations!!! As a mom of a young woman who has IBD and a long surgical history this gives HOPE to those who worry about if they can even have children with IBD and ostomy....❤❤❤❤❤

Hello pregnant lady!! What a gift to hear the joy in your voice. I needed this today. First, you both deserve this!! Second, I think that little peanut heard you talking about how much IVF was going to cost and he or she is a little frugal offspring and decided to save you the expense. SO HAPPY!!! ❤❤❤

[bonniemorgan]

I'm so happy for you❤ I'm 69 years old and crying like a baby; this is such a special time for you and your husband. Beautiful couple!

[DorothyDNelson]

I'm over here crying happy tears for you guys! What an awesome God we serve. Remember, it's in His time, not yours. He doesn't need IVF. So happy for you guys! ❤

[TerriWelsch]

🎉😂 I have tears all the way down my face right now. I will pray for you everyday till I see your next video and let us know what's going on. You two just are a wonderful couple and pray to God that he he's watching over you and your baby. Keep that beautiful smile Maggie!!

Sitting here in germany crying out of joy! I‘m so happy for you!!! How cool is this😄 i wish you all the best!!

[juliefondurulia]

What wonderful news!! So happy for you. Praying everything goes well.

[mamofoneteen]

I mean I’m bawling, I’m so incredibly happy for you both. Congratulations!!! I found out I was pregnant in the x-ray department waiting for a barium study! I was like, come on just get on with it, it’s not possible I could be pregnant, I’ve been told I need IVF. (I had my colon removed and pouch surgery due to crohn’s, now have illeostomy and fed by TPN). I have been blessed with ‘only’ one but my goodness I’ve been BLESSED. He’s 24 now and I’m hoping I’ll be around for any grandchildren he may have. Stay strong and well, you’ve got this and enjoy it. ❤

I'm with you all the way on your journey.💛💛💛
