Hello there and thanks for posting

Hopefully others will pop on here and share their stories with you but do bear in mind symptoms and abnormal test results can be caused by so many different things and most won't be cancer. 

I think for now you need to try and trust your doctors judgement but of course let them or your midwife know about any further problems you may be having so they can assess you.

As your GP has already said calprotectin levels are often raised in inflammatory bowel disease so hopefully something like irritable bowel syndrome is causing the change in your bowel habits.

It is my understanding that whilst a colonoscopy can be risky in pregnancy and cause early onset of labour or miscarriage these risks for each person need to be weighed up. If the symptoms continue or worsen, I am sure the doctors will re consider the colonoscopy to find out what is going on but I think they would rather this be in the 2nd or 3rd trimester.

I hope this helps and the rest of your pregnancy is a healthy one.

Take care

Naomi
