The explosion of therapeutic options in the last 15 years has provided hope to women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis — who wish to be healthy enough to conceive a child. However, a lack of adequate information and poor communication among providers has left the patient with limited and often contradictory advice. This Consensus Clinical Care Pathway has gathered all available data and tasked an expert multidisciplinary team representing multiple societies to put it all together in a format that is easily digestible and converts readily into everyday practice. While we understand that further studies are always needed and recommendations may change over time, we hope that every woman with IBD who is considering pregnancy or is pregnant will now have access to standardized, up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations that are agreed upon by her gastroenterology and obstetric provider, working in unison to ensure the healthiest possible pregnancy.
