Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) can affect mainly young people in their reproductive years. IBD therefore has a major impact on
patient’s family planning decisions. Management of IBD in pregnancy requires a challenging balance between optimal disease control
and drug safety. Studies have shown a lack of knowledge among both patients and physicians regarding reproductive issues in IBD. The
aim of this article is to objective review available research data regarding the safety of IBD medication during pregnancy and postpartum
period in women with inflammatory bowel disease.
