To report our referral single institution experience of the management of urethral diverticulum (UD) in female during pregnancy (UDp), which is a rare condition, not standardized and sparsely reported in the current literature. ## Methods The charts of 12 female patients treated for UDp between 2010 and 2020 were screened retrospectively. Baseline demographics, management strategies, delivery complications, and surgical outcomes were specifically analyzed and compared to our historical cohort of UD patients (n = 54). ## Results Overall, 7/12 (58%) patients were primiparous and 5/12 (42%) had previous pregnancy with no history of UD. Symptoms at diagnosis were respectively urinary tract infections (7/12, 58%), urethral purulent discharge (6/12, 50%), vaginal bulging (4/12, 33%), and dyspareunia (4/12, 33%). Compared to UD outside pregnancy, UDp patients were younger and were more likely to bear asymptomatic UD. Conservative management until delivery was elected in all patients. Vaginal delivery was possible in all but one patient. There was not any reported infectious mother-to-child transmission. Diverticulectomy through vaginal route were performed 3 months after delivery. Low-gra
