Answer B. Pregnancy has an increased risk of flare in 1st trimester and postpartum period with decreased rate of flare in 2nd and 3rd trimesters and overall no increased risk of flare, however, flares may be more severe. The most important factor for a healthy delivery is a healthy mother and therefore it is important to continue maintenance therapy with sulfasalazine or mesalamine. Some of the increase flare rate in 1st trmester and postpartum period is secondary to ill advised stopping of medication especially when breast feeding
