Childbirth during a UC or crohns flare?

Interested in peoples birth experiences whilst they were having a Crohn's or UC flare up.

I'm due in 6 weeks and currently in a UC flare with rectal bleeding which I doubt will get under control by the time baby comes as steroids don't work on me.

I can have a csection if I want but would like to avoid it as I also have a 1 year old who will need me, so ideally I wanted to have a vaginal birth but not completely hung up on it.

I'm just a bit worried if I tore whilst in a flare I could run risk of infections and the flare will take longer to get under control.
