Pregnancy complicated with Eisenmenger syndrome is associated with high risk to the fetus as well as the mother. There is approximately 50% risk of sudden maternal death, frequently occuring a few days postpartum and the overall fetal wastage is reported to be up to 75%. Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome are advised to refrain from pregnancy or to terminate pregnancy by the end of rst trimester itself. Management of these patients requires a co- ordinated multi-specialist care when such pregnancies reach a stage where safe termination is not advisable. However, in spite of all the risks, a few patients deliver successfully with a good maternal and neonatal outcome. We present 2 cases reported till third trimester and delivered a healthy baby and were subsequently discharged on the 10th postpartum day without any serious complications.
