Pregnancy and IBD

Pregnancy and IBD

Pregnancy is a life-changing journey, and for women living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), it can come with added challenges. Conditions like Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis require close monitoring during pregnancy to ensure the health of both mother and baby. At our IBD Clinic in Mumbai, we provide specialized care for women navigating pregnancy with IBD. 

If you’re seeking safe, compassionate, and expert guidance, consult our leading IBD specialist in Mumbai who has extensive experience managing IBD during pregnancy. 

Understanding Pregnancy and IBD

Women with IBD can have healthy pregnancies with the right support and medical care. However, disease control before and during pregnancy is critical. Active IBD during conception or pregnancy may increase the risk of: 

  • Preterm birth 
  • Low birth weight 
  • Miscarriage 
  • Complications during labor  

That’s why pre-pregnancy counseling and consistent monitoring by an IBD specialist in Mumbai are essential.

Yes, most women with IBD can conceive and have healthy pregnancies. It’s best to plan your pregnancy when the disease is in remission.

If well-managed, IBD typically does not affect the baby. Active disease, however, may increase certain risks, so regular monitoring is important. 

Q3. Are IBD medications safe during pregnancy? 

Many IBD medications are considered safe during pregnancy. Your IBD specialist will review your treatment and adjust it to ensure both maternal and fetal safety. 

Q4. Can I have a normal delivery with IBD?
