ABSTRACT
We report a very unusual case of secondary postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine rupture. Our case was a 23 years old lady who presented with heavy bleeding per vagina and gave history of home delivery. Rupture was most probably caused by injudicious use of oxytocic injection by a Traditional Birth Attendant at home. Surprisingly, after recovering completely from primary episode she again had heavy blood loss after 5 days. An emergency hysterectomy of the patient was performed to save the life
