Pericardial diseases during pregnancy are sporadic; however, proper diagnosis and management are crucial for the successful outcome of the pregnancy. It is often difficult to diagnose due to low clinical suspicion and high mortality. This case is presented as an infertile woman who underwent pericardiectomy for tubercular pericarditis, conceived spontaneously and had a successful pregnancy outcome even after recurrent episodes of pericarditis. The general outcome of patients with recurrent pericarditis is good, especially when multidisciplinary teams manage patients in tertiary settings.
