ABSTRACT

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, sometimes debilitating condition that affects mainly the young population. The effect of IBD on pregnancy is therefore an important clinical issue. Many Obstetricians are likely to come across the occasional patient with this chronic condition. The following article discusses the salient factors which need to be considered in pregnant women with IBD and serves as a quick, practical but nevertheless comprehensive guide for the practicing Obstetrician.
