CrohnieClothing Fashion for those with additional needs.

My name is Jen McGregor and I'm the founder of Crohnie Clothing, a fashion and style blog for those of us with something to hide whether it be a scar, burns or just something you feel uncomfortable about. What led me to creating this blog is that I've had Crohn's Disease for 8 years and when faced with the prospect of a colostomy bag, panicked at just how little choice there is for clothes which h

ide surgical scars, colostomy bags and the like! Therefore I have decided to get creative and trawl the internet and the high street for not only affordable but stylish clothes for people like me.

It’s been the biggest year of our lives and I can’t believe we’re just a few more days away from meeting our baby! ❤️

Being pregnant has been the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done and now it’s the final stretch I can’t believe we’ve made it so far! Our section was supposed to be a week on Monday but after a couple of days in hospital with very early pre eclampsia, they think moving the date forward is best for all of us involved, especially as we’re 36 weeks on Monday. Now I’ve had the steroid injections for baby to make sure they’re ready for delivery, they’re totally happy for us to go ahead!

I’m under monitoring every 48 hours now so after getting home this afternoon, we’re going back to get all of the tests done again on Monday and our new date… this feels like the most surreal weekend ever because it’s the last one before we’re parents and we’re full of nervous excitement 😂

It’s crazy that so much has happened during this pregnancy from going to Florida on our babymoon to having a beautiful baby shower to getting to tell all of our friends and family we’re having our little miracle! I never would have believed this would happen without ivf and despite the complications of having choleostasis that’s had me itching for 4 months and needing so much monitoring alongside doing blood thinners to avoid blood clots, it’s been so worth it. I know I’ve been saying for months I’m over being pregnant but now it’s coming to the end I’m feeling sentimental and I’ll miss this wee fishy kicking away! 🥹

It’s Bonnie Bean’s 2nd birthday 🥺❤️

I can’t even begin to explain how much I love this wee cat, she came into our lives when we were told I was infertile and had no chance of ever getting pregnant without IVF and gave us a reason to smile again.

She’s been through everything from sleepless nights to destroying a whole Christmas tree to being so fussy she won’t eat anything but the specific food she’s ate her whole life (including turning down steak and salmon dinners multiple times). We also came close to something bad happening to her when she was spayed and took a reaction to anaesthetic so she had a seizure. Thankfully after a few days she was totally fine but it was like a trial run of life as a parent with the stress and worry 😂

This year has changed so much for her as we did get pregnant with our wee miracle baby without IVF but she has become like a wee nanny cat and won’t leave my side. It’s so special when she makes biscuits on my bump and is extra cuddly with me, she won’t even let me have a bath without being the lifeguard watching to make sure I’m safe!

Seeing how much she absolutely loves people makes me so happy and especially how good she is with the kids. I really am so excited for her to have her own baby bestie to grow up beside and play with, it really does feel like she’s desperate for a wee friend because she won’t leave indie alone from the minute she comes through the door until she leaves!

So many people have the opinion cats are vicious or standoffish but she couldn’t be any further from that stereotype… I don’t even think she knows she’s not human because she even watches the telly with us 😂

I’m so grateful we’re her forever family and that we’ll hopefully have so many years yet because she really did save me when I didn’t think I’d get through each day.

…fingers crossed our next attempt at a home made dinner will go down better now she’s a bit older because she deserves a birthday treat 😂

So much love for Baby McAlister already 🤎🤍
Our little one is already so spoiled, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day surrounded by the most amazing women in my life.

From endless laughter to the best advice, a beautiful lunch, and so much love — it was everything I needed after a tough, complicated pregnancy. My heart feels so full.

A huge thank you to my mum, sisters, and cousins for planning the most perfect baby shower — I honestly didn’t stop smiling all day. You’ve given me memories I’ll never forget 💐

Now it’s just a couple more weeks of work, a few final appointments, and then… our wee miracle will finally be here. After all the hospital visits, sleepless nights, and worry — we’re so ready to meet our baby and start this next chapter 🕊️💫

Here’s to the final countdown 🤍

November 2025 vs November 2021 👀
Who even is that girl from 2021?!

I honestly can’t believe how much can change in just a few years. Back then, I was being told (for almost 20 years!) that getting pregnant would be nearly impossible — even with IVF. Fast forward to now… and I’m about to meet the baby I never thought I’d have 🥹💖

It’s been the biggest, most unexpected miracle of my life — and we’re literally counting down the weeks (or maybe days 👀) until baby arrives!

Not gonna lie, I didn’t realize how different I looked until we were talking about our Disneyland Paris trip and I saw those photos again. I’m definitely feeling healthier now, even though the pregnancy glow is more like pregnancy exhaustion lately 😂 Between the itching, anaemia, and sleepless nights, I’m feeling full-on zombie mode.

We’ve started getting those Braxton Hicks contractions too, so every twinge has me thinking “Is this it?!” Trying to stay calm and remind myself — no matter when baby decides to come, we’ve got this.

I can’t believe my baby shower is already THIS weekend!! 🍼💐 I’m so grateful to my family for planning it — fingers crossed baby waits until after the party to make an appearance 😂

✨Tell me: What’s something in your life that’s completely changed in the last few years? I love hearing everyone’s transformation stories 💕

We made it to 8 months!! 🙌🖤

Despite feeling like I have the build of Mike Wazowski, I can’t believe how close it is to meeting baby McAlister! We’ve been told the latest we’ll have them is the first week of December so we’re starting to get the last bits organised for them.

The last few months have been absolutely insane from all of the hospital appointments to working full time alongside getting 3-5 hours of sleep a night so I think we’re both just at the point of being over pregnancy and we’re ready to meet our wee baby!

Especially this last 2 weeks my hormones have been all over the place and I’ve been so emotional which I really don’t like. I think it’s getting to the point where point I’m struggling to face the itching every day from the choleostasis and it’s bad enough again now I’m at the point I wake up covered in blood from where I’ve been itching through the night. The pressure of the blood thinning injections every day has been rough too, not just the actual act of injecting yourself which thankfully Stuart has taken over because I can’t face it but also from the big lumps they leave from the blood collecting under the skin. I feel like my arms, legs and left side of my stomach are really tender every day despite rotating the sites so I’m really glad to know we’re about a third of the way through with them… only another 80-100 left to go 😂

It’s starting to skink in now that I’m about to go on maternity leave in a few weeks and I’m really excited to rest up for a week or two because I really need it!

It’s been such a hard journey going through a high risk pregnancy when you’ve got a stoma, crohns, endo and all sorts of other stuff going on but I’m so grateful for the care I’ve received, in particular from the day ward I see for a few hours a week. They’ve seen me cry, made me laugh and come up with a million different things to try to help my itching. They’re honestly such wonderful people I’ll be sad to say bye to them! I also couldn’t imagine doing this without Stuart and our family being so involved, I genuinely don’t know how I’d have coped without the support I have. ❤️

I think the third trimester hit me like a ton of bricks! 😂

We’ve made it to 31 weeks… it’s crazy thinking next week I’m 8 months pregnant, I genuinely didn’t expect to ever get to this point so I feel incredibly lucky to be in this position even if I am completely done with it and ready for the baby to be here!

The last week has involved a lot of time in bed, just not sleeping well which is frustrating but I know it’s import to try to rest when I can as I get really emotional when I’m sleep deprived. I think it’s all getting so real now that I’m starting to get nervous for the birth and just hope that everything goes well and that both myself and the baby get through it smoothly.

We had our first visit to the out of hours assessment unit last week because we were slightly worried about the baby coming early. That wasn’t fun as I’d spent the morning getting my weekly baby monitoring and bloods tested and we ended up back after work but it’s such a relief that everything was totally fine and I think I was just a bit overly worried as I’ve never been so close to giving birth 😂 I imagine we’ll end up back again before baby comes as the Branson hicks ramp up so I’ve got most of the bits and bobs for he hospital bag! It’s just so hard picking out outfits for the baby, I didn’t expect to feel pressure about what their first clothes were but here we are!

My hormones are all over the place just now and I spent most of last week crying at any minor inconvenience so I’m hoping that if I can get some more sleep this week and try to avoid itching from the choleostasis I’ll feel better. I just keep telling myself this is temporary and as long as the baby’s safe and well I can get through being sleep deprived, itching and doing the blood thinner injections!

I’m really so grateful to have the support from Stuart and our family, they really are helping out so much from planning the baby shower to getting things for be baby to just letting me rant when I’m struggling. Stuart has started giving me more of my injections as I can’t bring myself to do it every day and honestly that’s the biggest help knowing I only have to do it myself once or twice a week! ❤️

We’ve made it to 30 weeks! 🖤

I look as rough as I feel because sleep and heartburn are not a good combination in the third trimester 😂

I honestly can’t believe that my body has been able to be a home for the baby for so long, especially when we didn’t even think I could get pregnant!

We could be meeting our baby as early as next month depending on how my blood results are and my doctors have said the goal is no longer the 15th of December, it’s now to just make December if possible but that they’re happy to go on for now as long as I can cope with my choleostasis itching and the blood thinner injections. It means every week I have the slight worry that this might be the time my bloods show it’s safest for both of us to have the delivery but so far everything has been stable for the last 3 weeks which is fantastic.

I’m not going to lie, being pregnant has been both the best and hardest thing I’ve ever done as it’s just so uncomfortable and I’ve had the complications but getting to feel your baby kick and grow every day is the most amazing feeling and makes it all worth it… I just won’t be rushing to get pregnant again and I’m excited to not be itchy, be able to bend over without struggling to get up and to sleep in my bed every night rather than the couple of nights a week I end up on the floor with the aches and pains that need a hard surface!

We’ve got such a busy and exciting next few months coming up that I can’t wait for, it still feels surreal that it’s my turn to have a baby shower and finish the nursery but with not knowing how early we’ll meet the little one I have to start getting prepared! The hospital bag is my next task and giving little gifts to the nurses I see at the day ward every week just in case I suddenly don’t see them one week! 😂 I honestly can’t be more grateful to them for their care over the last few months, it’s so lovely to be able to have developed a relationship with my nurses and actually look forward to seeing them for a chat while the baby gets monitored!

Fingers crossed there’ll still be a good few updates before the big day! I’m keeping everything crossed that we make it to December! 😂🖤

11 years of us 🖤

If you’d have told me when we met everything we would go through together I’d never have believed you. From surgeries to loss to graduating uni to fertility treatments to finding out about our surprise miracle baby, it has been anything but boring.

Some couples that have been together for 40 years might not have gone through everything we have in such a short period of time. I genuinely can’t imagine going through everything alone, especially the surgical changes to my body but doing it together has made it less scary.

I’m always so grateful to know Stuart met my big brother because he was even more strict than my dad and knowing they got along so well is a huge comfort. Duncan telling me he didn’t need to worry about me because he knew Stuart would look after me meant more than I can explain.

Getting to experience travelling together, our first home, getting our first pet and the period of stability that has led to our little baby has been incredible. I still can’t believe our wee family is growing in the next couple of months but I’m so excited to experience it together!

There’s no one else that can make me laugh more and I can’t wait to see what the next few months have in store for us because I think it’ll be the best yet ❤️

This weekend was World Ostomy Day and as of today I am 28 weeks pregnant 🖤

I’m coming up on 12 years since my surgery (potentially baby could be born on my stomaversary) and I couldn’t be more grateful for it! Anyone who’s known me for a long time knows just how badly my Crohn’s dictated my life before I got my bag and how against the surgery I was but honestly it’s just normal to me now.

I never would have believed I would have the stability I do now, and that I went from being told I would have died if I didn’t get the surgery the day I did as my intestines ruptured in my sleep the night before the surgery to working full time, getting to travel and getting pregnant with our wee miracle!

I’m so grateful to be alive in a time where I did have this option available to me and that it gave me a second chance at life. The prospect of getting one always is worse than having one and I cannot stress that enough because it becomes your new normal in no time at all!

I remember I cried and refused to change my bag for the first week after the surgery but once I got my head around it, it became second nature. I even got rid of all my fitted clothes the day before my surgery as a dramatic 21 year old but in all the years I’ve had a bag I’ve never had a soul guess I had one or even notice there was anything different with my stomach!

I’ve noticed over the years that there seems to be more and more younger people who need a stoma and I am so happy there’s so much awareness now compared to even a decade ago when it was very taboo as it can be a really worrying and isolating experience when you don’t have peers in the same situation.

I’m so happy with how things have changed in my time with a stoma and I know it isn’t something that is guaranteed long term so I plan on enjoying it as long as a can!
