Symptomatic haemophilia A: management during pregnancy and the postpartum period

As an X linked disorder, the presence of severe symptomatic haemophilia A is an extremely rare disorder in women. Therefore there are no high-level evidence-based guidelines when it comes to pregnancy. Although there have been advances in the fields of prenatal counselling and maternal-fetal care, the management of these gestations continues to embody a challenge for any medical team. We report the successful management of a pregnant woman with symptomatic haemophilia A, from pregnancy to the postpartum period. Our aim is to enhance knowledge on this topic, and further improve outcomes for these mothers and their offspring.
