Uterovaginal prolapse is the descent of the uterus and vagina down the birth canal toward the introitus. The occurrence of uterovaginal prolapse in a primigravida is very rare. It can cause preterm labor, fetal demise, spontaneous abortion, postpartum hemorrhage, maternal urinary complications, sepsis, and death. This case report presents the rare occurrence of uterovaginal prolapse in a primigravida woman with no major risk factors identified for prolapse, who presented in active first stage of labor and delivered vaginally. A 30-year-old Oromo primigravida woman who did not remember her last normal menstrual period but claimed amenorrhea of 9 months duration presented with the urge to bear down of 12 hours duration and passage of liquor of 8 hours duration. She was referred from the local health center to Jimma Medical Center with a diagnosis of prolonged labor. At presentation, she was in active first stage of labor with cervix 5–6 cm and fetal heartbeat was negative. She was followed for the progress of labor, and 4 hours after admission to the labor ward, she delivered a freshly dead male neonate weighing 3000 g. Her postpartum period was uneventful, and she was discharged on her third postpartum day and referred after 6 weeks to the outpatient department. Uterovaginal prolapse occurring in primigravida and during labor at first recognition is very rare, with congenital weakness being a possible underlying pathology. Management of uterovaginal prolapse during labor should be individualized on the basis of fetal condition and the severity of prolapse. For a patient with pelvic organ prolapse in labor, expectant management is a good option when there is no severe edema resulting in obstructed labor, as in our case, where the patient delivered vaginally and the prolapse resolved postpartum.
