title: Maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancies affected by von Willebrand disease type 2.
abstract: We report a case series that lends support for both the maternal and neonatal safety of vaginal delivery in pregnancies complicated by heritable von Willebrand disease types 2A and 2B. With proper hematologic support, a cesarean delivery may be indicated only for obstetric reasons.
