This occurs as a result of the failure of the embryonic fusion of M\u00fcllerian ducts. Women with this abnormality have a paired uterus with two cervices and usually a double vagina. The chance of having a pregnancy in one of the pairs along with prolapse of the other is very low in a didelphic uterus. To the best of the author\u2019s knowledge, only one case of such an event has been reported so far. In this case report, we are reporting on a 28-year-old gravida four para three (all are vaginal deliveries, 2 are alive, healthy, and term deliveries without any compilation; 1 is an early neonatal death delivered at 8\u2009months) woman who presented to our hospital with a complaint of a protruding mass per vagina for 14\u2009days in the presence of pregnancy. After she was evaluated and investigated, she was diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse and late-preterm pregnancy. The prolapse reduced gradually as the gestational age advanced. Cesarean section was done at the gestational age of 38\u2009weeks plus 2\u2009days for the indication of infected pelvic organ prolapse in labor, with the outcome of a 3000\u2009gram male alive neonate. Intraoperatively, there was uterine didelphys, one uterus holding the pregnancy while the other was prolapsing.
