Abnormal hemoglobin patterns such as hemoglobin‐E are rarely found in Western populations. The condition is fairly common in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, however. It is not commonly found in West Asian countries such as Saudi Arabia. A case report of hemoglobin E disease in pregnancy is made; its impact on pregnancy and labor is discussed.
