A case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type III in pregnancy is described. During the pregnancy, the patient suffered from increasing joint laxity, requiring prolonged bed rest and traction. Early delivery by cesarean section was ultimately performed to relieve her symptoms. We have been unable to find other reports in the literature regarding Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type III in pregnancy.
