Abstract
Graphic tracings representing uterine contractions during labor in a patient with myotonic muscular dystrophy are presented. The patient had a clinically inert labor requiring oxytocin stimulation and tocodynamometer tracings taken before and after stimulation are compared. The graphic representation of the uterine contractions suggested a prolonged plateau phase of relaxation, which had not been previously reported, and this relaxation phase appeared to be shortened by the oxytocin stimulation.This is also a case of cardiac arrest at 15 weeks' gestation, with survival of mother and delivery of an apparently normal infant.
