Help Us Improve Safety Info on IBD Medications

Better Safety Info in Pregnancy Starts with Your Referral

Gastroenterologists need more information on the safety of medications when used in pregnancy. MotherToBaby Pregnancy Studies has over 20 years of experience conducting pregnancy exposure cohort studies. With your patient referrals, our research will produce the scientific evidence you and your patients need to weigh the risks and benefits of given treatments for both mom and baby, allowing you to make informed decisions that minimize maternal and fetal/infant risk.

Rigorously Designed Research Studies

We partner with physicians and patients to monitor pregnancy exposure to gastrointestinal medications. Our strong cohort study design allows our team to tease apart risks that may be associated with underlying disease versus those associated with a medication exposure.
