A case of a gravid uterus in an incisional hernia in the anterior abdominal wall of a 27‐year‐old Nigerian woman is presented. The patient developed an ulceration of the anterior abdominal wall necessitating prolonged hospitalization. She was delivered by emergency lower segment cesarean section at 35 weeks gestational age because of premature labor. The patient unfortunately died from primary postpartum hemorrhage.
