The thought of a vaginal birth can be too much for some women to handle. It was definitely too much for a 26-year-old Chinese woman identified as Ma Rongrong, who’d rather kill herself than deliver vaginally a 41-week baby who had an “unusually large head.”
Rongrong was 41 weeks pregnant when on August 31 she jumped from the fifth floor of the First Hospital of Yulin in Yulin, Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province. Her death was rule a suicide. But what could lead a seemingly happy mother-to-be to jump to her death, killing herself and her unborn child?
According to The Global Times, Rongrong was not allowed to choose how she wanted to deliver her baby. The medical consensus was that the baby should’ve been born via c-section, and while she agreed with them, her family opposed the procedure. As a result, the hospital had to deny the surgery to the mom-to-be.
