Abstract
Two patients who survived cardiorespiratory arrest occurring in association with amniotic fluid embolism syndrome were seen during the subsequent pregnancy. Both had uneventful pregnancies and delivered at term without complications. These are the only case reports of pregnancy after amniotic fluid embolism, and they support a model of amniotic fluid embolism involving chemically abnormal amniotic fluid rather than an unusual sensitivity to normal amniotic fluid.
