A case series of severe symptomatic peripartum hyponatraemia.

This single centre case series describes the presentation and management of six cases of peripartum hyponatraemia in women who were otherwise deemed low-risk at delivery. It highlights presenting symptoms such as fatigue, confusion and seizures as well as the effects on the neonate. It also focuses on areas of interest such as fluid intake, hormonal effects of ADH and oxytocin and the association with birthing pools for future research.
