 Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder in which the body's immune system abnormally attacks the peripheral nervous system. When this occurs, signal transduction between the central nervous system to the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. Symptoms of GBS can vary, and the exact cause is uncertain. We report a case of a pregnant 24-year-old woman in her third trimester, who presented with paresthesia and weakness that progressed through her postpartum period. Initially misdiagnosed, the case underscores the diagnostic challenges of GBS and highlights the importance of timely intervention. Standard therapies include intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and plasmapheresis
  in this instance, our patient received the latter. Despite the delayed diagnosis, she received appropriate treatment and showed improvement. This case highlights the complexity behind diagnosing GBS, particularly in the obstetric population, and the critical need for early recognition and management to improve patient outcomes.
