The literature on methaemoglobinaemia in pregnancy is scarce, imposing clinical challenges to both obstetricians and haematologists. We report a total of nine pregnancies with methaemoglobinaemia treated in our centre. Their methaemoglobin levels, mode of delivery, pregnancy management and outcome were summarized.
