Abstract
Pregnant women may be affected by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract or liver. These disorders can be related or unrelated to pregnancy. Conditions unrelated to pregnancy can be pre-existing or co-incident. These diseases have varying effects on obstetric outcome. Severe liver disease in pregnancy is rare. We present some common gastrointestinal and liver disorders focussing on the diagnosis, management and effects on pregnancy outcomes.
