mother and the fetus. We describe our approach to envenomation in pregnancy
based on the currently available evidence. Case: We reported two case of
snakebite in the third trimester of pregnancy having caused placental abruption
with expelling a fresh still born baby and a live baby. In both cases,
consumption coagulopathy occurred. managed
by polyvalent anti-snake and blood transfusion. Their investigations became
normal and they were discharged of hospitalization. Conclusion: Snakebite
