AB  - Anaphylactoid Syndrome of Pregnancy (ASP) is a rare complication of delivery in mother and/or infant during the process of birth. Known as either Anaphylactoid Syndrome of Pregnancy or Amniotic Fluid Embolism, the maternal mortality rate worldwide for this complication is between 10 and 16% while the fetal mortality rate is upwards of 30%. The majority of maternal survivors are expected to have long - term neurologic deficit. While the majority of infants will survive, the majority will also incur some form of neurologic defect. This report is of a case in which both the mother and infant survived with discharge occurring at eleven days for the mother and eighteen days for the infant.ABBREVIATIONS: ASP - Anaphylactoid Syndrome of Pregnancy, AFE - Amniotic Fluid Embolism, DIC - Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, FFP - Fresh Frozen Plasma
