Abstract

Approximately 50 % of patients are less than 35 years of age at the time of diagnosis and 25 % conceive for the first time after their diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) [1–3]. This age range corresponds to female reproductive age and increases the likelihood of Crohn’s disease (CD) during pregnancy.
