Thank you @my_ueg for highlighting #IBD & #pregnancy 🤰🏻 It was a pleasure speaking with #Pradeep_Mundre about this important area and sharing perspectives and experiences. Here is Part 1 of the podcast 🎙️ - and Part 2 will be coming soon
🎙️ 1 in 3 women with IBD fear their meds could harm the baby. Most are wrong, and stopping treatment is often riskier, since active disease drives stillbirth, preterm birth & low birth weight. @JulsgaardMette​ on IBD in pregnancy, host: @pradeepmundre. 🔗 bit.ly/44R97K3

If you haven’t reviewed the Global Consensus on Management of pregnancy and IBD, here is a quick video and link to article in @Gut_BMJ @JulsgaardMette @MLongMD @Siew_C_Ng @PIANOIBD
New #GUTVideo by @UmaMahadevanIBD @PIANOIBD Pregnancy in women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains complex, with limited high-quality evidence and significant variation in care worldwide. Differences in provider knowledge, access to resources, and conflicting guidelines can affect medication adherence, pregnancy decisions, and outcomes for mothers and babies. The Global Consensus Consortium—bringing together 39 IBD experts and 7 patient advocates from 6 continents—reviewed the evidence using GRADE and RAND methodologies to develop practical, data-driven recommendations. Their work includes 34 formal recommendations and 35 consensus statements aimed at improving global care for women with IBD during pregnancy, always prioritising maternal health to support infant health. Watch the #GUTVideo by Uma Mahadevan now on the paper "Global consensus statement on the management of pregnancy in inflammatory bowel disease" via bit.ly/43naGif Paper via bit.ly/3PZtjWq #Pregnancy #IBD

Emerging data on JAKs & pregnancy presented by @UmaMahadevanIBD — overall in this cohort there were no adv signals of maternal complications, preg outcomes, infant devel, infection or vax response. JAKi should only be used if no other viable option for maternal health. #DDW2026
