A uterine rupture is a rare complication during a pregnancy. However, when it does occur it is a life threatening event for both the mother and the baby. According to a recent metaanalysis by Claeys et al. (2014), 80% of uterine ruptures occur in the mid-third trimester of pregnancy between 28 and 36 weeks. Few cases of uterine rupture have been reported before 22 weeks of gestation and fewer of them reported during early first trimester. In this case report, we discuss a rare case of spontaneous uterine rupture in a patient with a history of a robotically assisted laparoscopic myomectomy. The uterine rupture occurred in the absence of uterine contractions, once at 8 weeks and again at 21 gestational weeks during two subsequent pregnancies.
