N2 - Women with gastrointestinal (GI) disease processes are living longer into their reproductive years and their quality of life is improving. Many of the GI disorders can mimic problems in pregnancy and can be associated with poor perinatal outcomes. Women are encouraged to optimize their GI conditions prior to conception for best perinatal outcome. Planned pregnancy after health optimization and maintenance of appropriate therapies is best for both the mother and her intended family. Unplanned pregnancy during an active disease flare, use of teratogenic medications, or need for multiple procedures for untreated disease can exacerbate problems in pregnancy. Contraception is encouraged while undergoing active treatments to allow for return of safer conditions for family building. Most methods of contraception are safe, effective, and acceptable in GI disease with relatively few potential complications. In addition most treatments for GI disease are compatible with pregnancy.
