A 21-year-old woman was diagnosed with Fechtner syndrome at 15 weeks gestation. She had a familial history of this disorder; her mother, two siblings and maternal grandmother were also affected. She presented with neither bleeding from the genital tract nor symptoms suggestive of placental abruption. Labor progressed uneventfully and resulted in the birth of a healthy female infant weighing 3436 g at 41 weeks of gestation. The puerperium was uneventful for both mother and infant.
