Cervical pregnancy ending in a live vaginal birth.
A case of cervical pregnancy followed by cataclysmic haemorrhage estimated at 8500 ml and necessitating total abdominal hysterectomy and replacement of 18 units of blood is reported. This pregnancy remained undiagnosed until 28 wk and is to our knowledge the first case described in the English literature in which the pregnancy ended in a live vaginal birth. Both mother and baby are now well.
