| Core Tip |
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions characterized by relapsing and remitting episodes of intestinal inflammation. IBD is most frequently diagnosed during peak female reproductive years, with 25% of women with IBD conceiving after their diagnosis. While therapies have improved dramatically, IBD have important effects on pregnancy and presents challenges for maintaining optimal outcomes for mothers and their developing fetus/neonate. Women with IBD and physicians must often make challenging decisions on conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. This review discusses concerns and recommendations for pregnancy during IBD and is intended for gastroenterologists, general practitioners and IBD patients and their families. |
