A 34-week pregnant woman with apparently normal antenatal visits, presented to the Emergency department with drowsiness, very high blood pressure, and episodes of seizure 3 hours back. She was provisionally diagnosed as eclampsia with diabetic ketoacidosis. She was intubated and resuscitated for the same. However, in the intensive care unit, a point-of-care ultrasound of the abdomen showed free fluid and blood clots in the abdominal cavity, suggesting uterine rupture. Emergency surgical intervention saved the life of the patient.
