ruptured during a spontaneous vaginal delivery. There have also been reports of dysfunctional platelet aggregation and prolonged bleeding (Hathaway et al. 1972; Siegel et al. 1957). Neonatal outcomes of fetuses affected by OI have been evaluated. The authors concluded that caesarean delivery did not decrease fracture rates at birth in infants with non-lethal forms of OI (Cubert et al. 2001). In the event of a caesarean delivery, an ample uterine incision should be created for the easy delivery of the baby (Carlson and Harlass 1993). An oxytocin infusion should be commenced after the third stage of labour, to keep the uterus contracted. Patients with OI require a multidisciplinary approach in their management, which includes the obstetrician, geneticist, ultrasonographer, haematologist, anaesthetist and the paediatrician. We describe the successful management of pregnancy and delivery in a woman with a severe form of OI who had greatly restricted mobility. The baby was confirmed to have inherited the condition, which had been suspected from the ultrasound features in the antenatal period.
