Abstract
Here is a case of 22 year old female primigravida with term gestation with non progression of labour for emergency caesarean section. Advances in surgical technique, prosthetic heart valve design, and anticoagulation have contributed to an overall improvement in morbidity and mortality in women with heart valve prostheses as well as increased feasibility of pregnancy. Several reports have been published of successful pregnancies in patients with prosthetic valves. The numbers are still comparatively small, however, and a further case is reported in which the outcome was favourable for both mother and fetus. Keywords: Pregnancy, Prosthetic heart valves.
