ABSTRACT
A 36-year-old manual worker presented in her second pregnancy at 34 weeks of gestation with an unusual bulge of her abdomen. The lower abdominal bulge turned out to be her gravid uterus herniated through an anterior abdominal wall incisional hernia which is a rare but serious obstetric situation with complications such as premature labour, intrauterine growth retardation, strangulation, intrauterine death and rupture of the lower uterine segment been reported. We had a successful outcome by conservative treatment till 38 weeks of gestation followed by an elective lower segment Caesarean section with hernia repair. Incisional hernia is a frequent complication of abdominal wall closure and the management of pregnancy with a large incisional hernia with gravid uterus in its sac is challenging.
