    Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, and one of the common obstetrical emergencies. Quite commonly, it occurs in patients where PPH is not expected. Management has to be swift and precise according to the steps and the response initiated by the uterine musculature during the management. In our patient, we had a localized multifocal atony of the uterus, at points where the uterine sinuses were bleeding due to atony, and medical management and uterine tamponade failed, with a raised D-dimer level. As the stepwise management failed with uterine devascularisation failing to control PPH, a decision for uterine compression suture (UCS), Cho suture was taken
