Supervised by Professor Dr. Mohamed Alshekhani.

2. Introduction:
 The explosion of therapeutic options in the last 15 years
 has provided hope to women with IBD who wish to be healthy
 enough to conceive a child.
 A lack of adequate information&poor communication among providers
has left the patient with limited & often contradictory advice.
 This Consensus Clinical Care Pathway has gathered all available data &
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
ensure the healthiest possible pregnancy.
