Abstract
A case of active peptic ulcer disease in a primigravida at 29 weeks' g estation is presented, with a literature review. This particular case was complicated by gastric outlet obstruction, a complication which ha s not been previously reported in the obstetric literature. Although a n uncommon diagnosis in pregnancy, the investigations for peptic ulcer disease should be actively pursued. Treatment can prevent serious com plications.
