The birth of a flaccid neonate is described. Oxytocin, diazepam and extradural bupivacaine were used during labour. The baby survived 1 1/2 hours of artificial ventilation and was subsequently healthy. An account is given of the assessment of foetal maturity and the diagnosis of neonatal flaccidity is discussed.
