Uterine prolapse that appears for the first time during pregnancy is a rarely encountered clinical entity, complicating 1 in 10000 to 1 in 15000 deliveries. A 30-year-old, gravida 3, para 2 woman with a 35-week-old pregnancy who was admitted to the study center was diagnosed with stage III C uterine prolapse according to the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System. Bed rest in the Trendelenburg position and administration of saline soaks for the reduction of cervical edema were recommended for the palliative treatment of the patient. Five weeks later, a healthy male baby with a birthweight of 3500 grams was delivered by cesarean section. Appropriate management of pregnancy-associated uterine prolapse consists of conservative treatment modalities throughout pregnancy
