Abstract
<h4>Introduction</h4>Herniation of a full-term pregnancy is a rare event that poses risks for both mothers and babies. This condition can lead to lower uterine segment rupture and intrauterine foetal death.<h4>Case presentation</h4>We present a case of an incisional hernia with a full-term pregnancy. Despite initial plans for elective surgery, she presented in labour, requiring emergency laparotomy, caesarean delivery, and simultaneous hernia repair with successful outcomes for both the mother and baby.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Emergency laparotomy with caesarean delivery and simultaneous hernia repair is a feasible option for a gravid patient with incisional hernia in labour.
