Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune disorder that may affect people during their reproductive years. Family planning with IBD can be challenging at times but with a team of IBD and Obstetrical experts, even patients with complex disease may have a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
ABOUT THE CLINIC
We have established a clinic with a team of experts in the field of IBD and Pregnancy. Our goal is to provide the best care for patients who have IBD and who are pregnant or are planning to get pregnant. We provide evidence-based, expert advice about IBD medications, fertility, delivery, breastfeeding, and vaccinations of the newborn. By optimizing disease management for our patients throughout their pregnancy and postpartum, it will improve the outcome for a healthy pregnancy.
