I take Humira for Crohn's disease, and am 28 weeks pregnant. My consultant (who I trust entirely) has advised me to carry on with the Humira right up to birth, even though it is contraindicated in third trimester. Rationale being that it is more risky for the baby if I get ill than the risk of some of the medication crossing placenta. But this means some of baby's vaccinations will need to be delayed by a few months.
Feel ok about this but just wondered if anyone had any experience, especially of the delayed vaccinations for baby afterwards (for whatever reason). Don't want him to get poorly!
