Pregnancy-associated osteoporosis manifesting for the first time during second pregnancy.
We present here a case of 26-year-old woman with pregnancy-associated severe osteoporosis which occurred for the first time at the end of the second pregnancy. We discuss changes in bone mass and metabolism taking place during normal pregnancy and other possible factors of osteoporosis during that period.
