The Parenthood Project
Welcome to the My IBD Life Parenthood Project, where we understand the unique journey you’re on as someone with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who’s looking to start or grow your family.
We get it—there’s a lot on your mind, and you may have questions and concerns about taking care of your ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease along the way. That’s why the American Gastroenterological Association created the My IBD Life Parenthood Project, to offer you a warm and supportive space filled with information tailored just for you.
So, whether you’re thinking of trying to get pregnant, are currently pregnant, or already have children, we’re here to answer your questions and give you helpful facts and tools to manage your IBD symptoms at every stage of family planning.
Remember, with proper planning and care, people living with IBD can have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. You’ve got this—and we’ve got your back!
