Rare haemorrhagic disorders cause a lot of diagnostic and therapeutic problems to the obstetrician. By means of a pregnancy course and a birth process a report is given on the physiological drop of the factor XIII serum concentration and its difficult clinical interpretation. This paper presents pathophysiology, symptoms, complications and treatment of factor XIII deficiency in pregnancy.
