You should talk with your physician, because the effects of Creon during pregnancy aren't adequately studied.
It is not known whether pancrelipase, one of the Creon's ingredient, can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity.

I am 33yr old and had the Whipple done a bout 3 years ago. I was told that i couldn't get pregnant and have another baby - but here I am 7 months pregnant and so far so good. I was told that there are just certain risks around the area they did the surgery on and the main problem to watch out for is bowel obstructions and pain from the muscles stretching. Although I was fully healed 3yrs after I don't know if 6 months after is considered "fully healed". I am diabetic now from the procedure so I have to watch out for the risks that are associated with that. I checked with my primary care doc, OB, and surgeon regarding getting pregnant - so I would advice you to do the same. I know that you will definitely not find any information online - so Good Luck!

GeeWoo-
How did your last trimester finish? How was the delivery? Any advice you would give to a fellow Whipple post-op in her early 30s who is also considering pregnancy?

Hi. Thanks everyone to your replies, it has been very helpful.To answer the last question: Yes I went full term & asked to be induced due to the fact I had a large baby 9lb & I'm quite small so it was getting unbearable! The pessaries inserted didn't work straight away & finally the 5th one worked. It took 48hrs in Labour & had to be put on a drip to speed things up.It went up to the last count b4 having to consult the doc (sorry forgot the count)Kian was born healthy & no complications to myself or him. I am now 41 & he is nearly 2. I am still on creon & have had quite a few tests since & all seems well. No I didn't get pregnant, I decided to wait but being 41 time is not on my side! My consultant says the scaring shouldn't be an issue & creon would be ok to take during pregnancy. I'm moving home in 6 weeks so I'd like to wait until we have moved & have 2 months to settle in before trying again & then i'll give myself a year, if nothing happens then it's not meant to be but I would like my son to have another sibling to grow up with. My eldest being 21!!! I would like to have a chat with geewoo but there is no contact detail's. Ellie x

I had a whipple surgery at the age of 31(3 years ago) and have been wondering the same question. I also have a nerve diease that has prevented me from having a baby due to a number of medications. Finally, I am ready to have another baby. My son is 9 years old. I asked my GI doctor about having a baby and being on viokase (pancreatic enzyme)and she said it was perfectly fine. She said I would have to have all my vitamin levels checked before hand and throughout the pregnancy b/c I don't absorb certain vitamins now. I will also have to have a C-Section b/c of Scarring. I just wish there was more information out there.

Hi. There has been one lady who had a baby after a 'whipple' but unfortunately I have had no reply from her. Also, I,like yourself have not found any other info about it. My consultant said it would be fine. I'm due for my next MRI Scan that I have to have every year now & if it comes back ok then we will try for another baby: ) All moved & settled now so hears hoping!!! Please keep me posted on how you get on gmelder, it would be nice to at least for us to keep each other informed how things go as there is no or very little info out there! Also, I would love to hear from anyone else in the same situation. Ellie
