Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a rare but fatal manifestation of SLE, typically reported in well-established diagnoses of SLE. DAH itself as a presenting symptom is quite rare. In this case, we present a 24-year-old pregnant female at 10 weeks of gestation without a history of SLE presenting with DAH.
