What is frequency of births with crohns disease?
The fertility rates for women with Crohns disease are not much different from those without Crohns. Women with Crohn's disease should also be aware that pregnancy often results in normal gestation and that children are not more likely to have the disease just because mom has it. If a woman with Crohns is in remission at the time of conception, she has no greater risk for a disease flare than a woman who is not pregnant. A woman with active disease at the time of conception has a one-third chance of going into remission, a one-third chance of staying at the same disease activity level, and a one-third chance of getting worse during pregnancy. There is no evidence to suggest that inactive Crohn's disease has any effect on either female or male fertility, or on a woman's ability to carry a pregnancy to term and have a vaginal delivery.
