Pregnancy in a spinal cord-injured bilateral total leg amputee: management and considerations

Article Abstract:

Doctors report what may be the first known case of a woman who had a spinal cord injury and both legs amputated who became pregnant and successfully delivered the baby. The pregnancy did not go smoothly, and she had recurrent urinary tract infections, premature labor, spinal abscesses, and an abnormally positioned baby. She was delivered by a cesarean and was discharged with her baby on the third postoperative day.

Perinatal intervention and neonatal outcomes near the limit of viability

Article Abstract:

Trends in the level of obstetric and neonatal intervention near the limit of viability and perinatal morbidity and mortality rates over time are evaluated. A brief delay in delivery of pregnancies who are risk for delivery between 23 and 26 weeks of gestation may improve survival, although short-term morbidity in survivors would not be affected substantially.
