Dubin Johnson Syndrome is an autosomal recessive benign disorder of bilirubin metabolism, in which patients have icterus with non pruritic conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. Condition may get aggravated during pregnancy and result into fetal wastage. A case is reported in which young 2ndGravida presented with labour pain associated with icterus and conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. She had full term normal delivery at 40 weeks of gestation. There were no maternal peripartum complications. She was treated with supportive treatment. Her liver functions returned back to normal within short period after delivery. Conditions like Dubin Johnson syndrome must be kept as differential diagnosis while dealing with cases of jaundice in pregnancy.
