Abstract

DIC and obstetrical hemorrhage are leading causes of maternal death and fetal complications worldwide, especially in under developed and developing nations. DIC induced PPH is a rare complication seen in pregnancy, often fatal. In this case report, we discuss an interesting case where a primigravida had delivery at home (unregistered) with postpartum hemorrhage and how she was managed effectively.
