Infective endocarditis in pregnancy is uncommon. A 37-week pregnant woman presented with infective endocarditis. Echocardiography revealed prominent mitral valve vegetations. The patient underwent cesarean section and a 2,800 g male infant was delivered. In order to prevent embolization, mitral valve replacement was performed 3 days after cesarean section with SJM valve. Both mother and child are doing well now.
