Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) lead to various changes in the normal mechanisms of hemodynamics. Pregnancy in women with CHDs is rare. Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) is a rare disorder, in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery arise from the right ventricle. We present a case of a thirty-year-old pregnant woman who presented to us with 22 weeks of amenorrhea. She had DORV with VSD, which was undiagnosed till she came to our hospital. Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) is a rare congenital heart disease. Pregnancy in a patient with DORV needs early diagnosis and a stepwise multidisciplinary approach for successful outcomes.
