Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has a high incidence predominantly in young individuals, it also affects family planning and pregnancy. In this review we will summarize a number of issues and challenges that arise from this, such as the chances of having a successful pregnancy, how IBD affects pregnancy, what investigations are needed during pregnancy, as well as what is the correct management of IBD (dietary, medical or surgical) in pregnant women with this disorder. IBD in pregnancy requires a multidisciplinary approach involving close collaboration between patient, gynecologist and gastroenterologist in order to increase treatment compliance and facilitate a successful pregnancy
