Traditionally, the problem of osteoporosis (OP) and osteopenia (OPe) in women is associated with the period of menopause. Increased bone fragility and osteoporotic fractures in pregnant, postpartum and breast-feeding women is less expected but the socio-economic burden can be significant. Neither the existing classification of OP nor the International Classification of Diseases separate OP associated with pregnancy, childbirth and lactation [1].
