Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous connective tissue disorder rarely complicating pregnancy. Some types are associated with high maternal mortality, while others appear more benign. Two term, vaginally delivered pregnancies with good outcomes from one patient were managed with EDS type III. The patient experienced no significant morbidity attributable to the EDS. The only other previously reported case of EDS type III involved serious problems with joint laxity and pain morbidity, requiring preterm cesarean delivery.
