Abstract
Whilst uncommon in pregnancy, hypercalcaemia can lead to significant maternal and fetal morbidity. An important complication of hypercalcaemia is uncontrolled hypertension.

We highlight how effective and prompt involvement of the Maternal Medicine Network and multidisciplinary team led to a successful pregnancy outcome.
