Pregnancy in a patient undergoing regular haemodialysis at home is described. The pregnancy was complicated by antepartum haemorrhage due to a Type I placenta praevia, and premature labour occurred at 32 weeks, resulting in spontaneous vaginal delivery of a live infant which survived. Plasma progesterone oestrone, unconjugated oestradiol and oestriol levels were normal during the last two weeks of pregnancy, but failed to show a characteristic fall in the puerperium. The conjugated oestriol fraction was 20 to 30 times the normal mean level and did not fall after delivery. These findings are discussed.
