Hemophilia A and B are inherited bleeding disorders caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A) or IX (hemophilia B) activity. These disorders may be detected during pregnancy through prenatal carrier testing or family history. Because they are X-linked, these conditions primarily affect males. However, female carriers have varying levels of clotting factor activity and are at risk for excessive bleeding. In pregnancy, factor VIII levels rise which may reduce the risk of bleeding in hemophilia A carriers. There are special considerations for the care of hemophilia A and B carriers in pregnancy and childbirth due to potential bleeding in both the mother and the neonate.
