There is no definite evidence that there is a decrease in fertility when you have Crohn's disease; accept in patients who've already had surgery in the past. The symptoms of Crohn’s will generally improve during pregnancy or stop. There is no increased risk of low birth weight or premature babies with Crohn's disease and nearly all drugs for Crohn’s are safe to take during pregnancy.
