Crohn’s disease affects many women of childbearing age. Fecundity rates are often lower than in the general population due to reduced fertility during active inflammation, effects of pelvic surgery or voluntary childlessness. Many women have concerns regarding the effects of pregnancy on their Crohn’s, any potential effect of medication on the fetus, and passing on Crohn’s disease to the offspring. International guidelines on reproduction for women with Crohn’s disease provide evidence-based advice to patients and health care professionals. There is an increasing literature on the safety of advanced medication for Crohn’s disease during pregnancy. This review article therefore focuses on obstetric considerations beyond medication safety. We provide information on fertility, factors affecting pregnancy and fetal outcomes, obstetric complications, factors influencing mode of delivery, management of intestinal stomas during pregnancy and general considerations around breast feeding.
