Does having Crohn's disease when pregnant usually result in a premature birth?

NO, absolutely not. With regular prenatal care, predominantly for nutritional support and close fetal monitoring a pregnant Crohns patient should experience a normal pregnancy. Supplementation with extra iron, folate, and protein during pregnancy is encouraged because maternal loss of these nutrients can occur quickly during a flare.
Most medications used to treat Crohn's disease are considered low risk during pregnancy. Active disease poses more risk to the fetus than most Crohn's medications, so the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks. Whatever medications helped maintain remission before pregnancy should be continued during pregnancy with the exception of methotrexate or antibiotics.
