Hematuria in the peripartum period can be a diagnostic dilemma. A series of three rare cases of peripartum hematuria have been reported. All the cases recovered with conservative treatment. Peripartum hematuria can be idiopathic. Intravenous pyelography is the investigation of choice to find out the cause. Conservative approach remains the main stay of treatment.
