The document summarizes a consensus clinical care pathway for women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are considering pregnancy or are pregnant. The pathway was created by an expert multidisciplinary team representing multiple societies to provide standardized, evidence-based recommendations for gastroenterology and obstetric providers to ensure healthy pregnancies for women with IBD. It addresses the lack of consistent advice available previously by compiling available data on therapeutic options for IBD that have increased over the last 15 years and putting them into an easily accessible format for clinical practice.

 enough to conceive a child.
 A lack of adequate information&poor communication among providers
has left the patient with limited & often contradictory advice.

tasked an expert multidisciplinary team representing multiple societies to
put it all together in a format that is easily digestible & converts readily
into everyday practice.
 Every woman with IBD considering pregnancy or is pregnant will now
have access to standardized, up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations
agreed upon by gastroenterology/obstetric provider, working in unison to
