A case of pregnancy associated with neurotoxic snake bite presenting with Neuropathic symptoms and systemic envenomation complicated by disseminated intravascular bleeding is uncommon. We present a case of 22-year-old Primigravida at 32 weeks gestation with snake bite on left-hand, with left-hand swelling, nasal bleeding and neuropathic signs. At presentation, there was pallor, tachycardia, hypotension, a gravid uterus with a single live fetus, & regular fetal heart rate. Primi Gravida with venomous snake bite with Neuropathy with disseminated intravascular Coagulation was diagnosed. Conservative management with Anti Snake Venom instituted led to survival of both mother and continuation of pregnancy.
