A member asked:

Will irritable bowel syndrome affect my ability to conceive or carry a baby?

Dr. Nikolaos Zacharias answered

Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

No.: Ibs is not uncommon and should not interfere with you ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. Very severe disease can cause preterm contractions during diarrhea/colic episodes, so make sure a gastroenterologist and maternal-fetal medicine specialist are both following you along.
