Summary We report two patients who presented to our obstetric unit with a diagnosis of neurocardiogenic syncope. The first patient presented to the obstetricians in the second trimester having had two episodes of syncope during her pregnancy. The second patient had a pacemaker fitted prior to conceiving. We present the peri‐partum management of both these patients.
