ABSTRACT = {Since the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) in December 2019, understanding regarding coronavirus symptoms has been evolving. Medical issues in pregnancy usually resolve after delivery. Similarly, pregnant ladies with COVID-19 pneumonia had improvement in their condition after giving birth. However, in this case, the patient tested positive for "SARS-Cov-19 antigen PCR" and intended for vaginal birth, which was unsuccessful and resulted in a caesarean surgery. After the healthy baby was delivered, she experienced a life-threatening cytokine storm that necessitated elective intubation and mechanical breathing, as well as anti-viral medication. She was extubated after two weeks and then discharged on recovery. Previously, the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-SARS) and the Influenza virus (H1N1) were the most well-known viruses for generating potentially fatal results in pregnancy. This is first reported instance in Pakistan of a pregnant lady developing severe COVID-19 pneumonia. This research fills a vacuum in the medical literature and alerts obstetricians and clinicians to the likelihood of life-threatening postpartum, COVID-19 pneumonia complications.},
