The data in our study should throw more light on the current thinking of the obstetrical problems facing teenage mothers, in which some of our results support and others refute several long held beliefs about the risks in teenage pregnancy. Early booking, adequate antenatal care and delivery by trained people should improve the obstetric and perinatal outcome in teenage pregnancies, which is still an unresolved problem inspite of various government programmes in developing countries.

Summary: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) affects women of child-bearing age. There are little reported data on the outcomes of pregnancy in women with POTS. The most common mode of delivery reported in the literature is the caesarean section. Here we describe a woman with POTS who delivered vaginally without any complications and present a comprehensive review of the literature on pregnancy in POTS.
