Pregnancy and Crohn's disease

J F Fielding et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

Of 77 married women with Crohn's disease, 25 were sterile. In the remaining 52 (98 pregnancies) the risks of prematurity, stillbirth, abortion, or congenital abnormality were not increased. There was no evidence that pregnancy exerted adverse effects on the course of the disease or increased the mortality rate. Sterility was the main problem encountered.
