The Kya Jeub Podcast: Recent Episodes

Life with an Ostomy can be confusing and full of questions! We are here to answer all the questions you have from Ostomy to Marriage, Fashion to Confidence! I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 14. Soon after I had my first ostomy placed. I had the 3 part surgery which ended in my Colon being removed and a J-Pouch being placed. I lived with a J-pouch for 5 years until a severe complication during my first pregnancy called for a second ostomy to be placed. I now live a full and fulfilled life with my beautiful family. I have learned to live life through tragedies.

Welcome back to the 5th Episode of The Kya Jeub Podcast! Today we are sharing our J-pouch Pregnancy experience and how I ended up with a second ileostomy. We know every pregnancy is different so we hope this story enlightens you to a personal experience of going through a pregnancy with a J-pouch. That being said, I have heard great stories from women who have been pregnant with a j-pouch but I have also heard not so great stories. Same with Ostomy pregnancies, some pregnancies go great and others don't. I hope putting my story out there will give you perspective so if you know someone who could get something from this, please share! Go out into the world and do great things, BE KIND and WORK HARD!
