With strong uterine contractions. She delivered within 45 minutes a live healthy baby of 3kg weight. Placenta was delivered by AMTSL. Bleeding per vagina was within normal limits. During visualization of cervix and vagina prior to closure of episiotomy, omentum was seen coming out of upper part of posterior fornix of vagina. An irregular transverse rent was found and felt behind the cervix. Cervix was intact Uterus had contracted well. There was no excessive bleeding from vagina. Patients vitals were stable. Vagina was immediately packed and patient was shifted to OT after explaining about the unexpected complication and obtaining informed consent from patient and her relatives.
