In this case, a 29-year-old Japanese primipara with treatment-resistant schizophrenia taking clozapine 250 mg/day experienced pregnancy. The pregnancy progressed without complications. At 40 weeks and 2 days of gestation, the patient developed premature rupture of membranes, and decreased variability in the fetal heart rate and variable deceleration were observed, leading to an emergency cesarean section.
