Reproductive counseling is crucial for women's health, especially for those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which often affects younger patients during their childbearing years. Patients with IBD need special considerations when planning for pregnancy. Preconception counseling is important as it helps patients make informed decisions about pregnancy and allows for optimal management of IBD before, during, and after pregnancy. In this review, we aim to provide guidance for managing and treating patients with IBD throughout the preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum period.
