“…Significantly, in one study of pregnant women diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction, where autonomic dysfunction was present in 55% before pregnancy, this figure rose to 100% during pregnancy (Taitubayeva et al 2020). Those with POTS may also experience symptoms such as trouble concentrating, light-headedness, palpitations, fatigue, exercise intolerance, and in severe cases, syncope (fainting) (Fedorowski, Hamrefors, Ricci 2021). The authors of a recent review of the literature have determined that there is inadequate published evidence to confirm any relationship between hEDS, POTS, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) (Kohn and Chang 2019).…”

New estimates suggest that cases of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) along with the related hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) affect approximately 1 in 20 pregnancies globally per year. As such, cases in maternity services should no longer be considered rare, only rarely diagnosed. These conditions can impact upon childbearing in different ways, yet healthcare professionals are often perceived to be lacking in awareness. This article updates and builds upon a previous international review of maternity care considerations for those childbearing with hEDS/HSD. Findings point to a need for individualised care planning in partnership with parents as part of a multidisciplinary approach. As our knowledge of these conditions has developed significantly in recent years, new research insights could usefully be embedded in staff and student education. As a first step, www.hEDSTogether.com has been launched hosting a freely downloadable EDS Maternity tool for use in practice, along with an i-learn module hosted by the Royal College of Midwives.
