A case of pregnancy with Limb-girdle dystrophy is presented. The course of pregnancy remained uncomplicated, the patient has been delivered at 42 week's gestation by cesarean section, performed for dystocia and fetal distress. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations of the myometrium were unable to show its involvement in the muscular disease. The influence of the muscular disease and the route of delivery for such patients are discussed.
