Uterine prolapse during pregnancy is a rare condition in which careful assessment and management are needed to prevent complications. Here we report a case of 23-year-old gravida 3 multiparous women with a history of 2 vaginal home deliveries; she presented with uterine prolapse in active labour. She was delivered vaginally by Duhrssen’s incision successfully. This case is reported to show that Duhrssen’s incision can reduce the need for caesarean section in such cases.
