Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is typically seen in older individuals. Occurrence of pregnancy in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is uncommon and ends with abortion in case it happens. Here we report a case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis presenting at 38 weeks of pregnancy who successfully delivered a male child without any significant complications. The disease was active at presentation and early postpartum period.
