Abstract
In our contemporary society, where medical advancements occur daily, many women with complex medical conditions are becoming pregnant and successfully carrying pregnancies to term. We report a case of a complicated, unplanned pregnancy in a newly initiated haemodialysis patient. The patient presented with breathlessness and was discovered to be 13 weeks pregnant while also being diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary embolisms. Unfortunately, she later developed pregnancy-induced complications that required her to remain hospitalised throughout her entire pregnancy. This case illustrates the complex care needed to manage a pregnant woman with multiple co-morbidities. It emphasises the importance of pre-pregnancy counselling and optimizing care among women of childbearing age who have complex medical backgrounds. Such awareness is crucial for both physicians and obstetricians.
