Does Inflammatory Bowel Disease Trigger Pregnancy Complications?
Moms-to-be with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) carry certain risks during pregnancy, reports a new study. The findings of the study are published in the journal Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics.
Pregnant women with //inflammatory bowel disease are more likely to undergo delivery by Caesarean section, according to an analysis of published studies.

The analysis found that one-third of all pregnancies in women with IBD were delivered by Caesarean section, reflecting almost a two-fold increase compared with women without IBD.

The analysis also demonstrated increased risks of gestational diabetes and preterm prelabour rupture of membranes in women with IBD.

Placental-related disorders, such as pre-eclampsia, placental abruption, and placenta previa, did not appear to be increased in women with IBD.
