A woman aged 41, with overdue pregnancy. Known to have and diagnosed with hypertension. Had her hypertension attacked, dead on arrival at emergency room. Doctor made an incision to her tummy to get the baby. I can see her thick fat, saw the baby coming out then the like rotten, dark placenta. Tsk tsk. Doctor was trying to save the baby, and thank God it was saved.
I find this incident negligence to the parents. She knows her pregnancy is overdue, don't she think that the baby can poo already inside and that will coz toxic to the baby and of course to her? She knows she has hypertension and that is so bad for pregnant women? She is 41 years old and the risk is too good! Plus she is working in a health center.... She just don't care at all!

Most of peoople who works in the medical field are even more ignorant than ordinary people when it comes to health. I think they usually think that they can handle themselves even without medical assistance. I just wish this woman had been more careful considering her history of hypertension and her advanced age. I hope the baby will survive.

That is a very sad story. The woman may have been ignorant. It breaks my heart to hear about it. I hope the baby will be healthy.

Good thing that the baby was safe but it is much better if her mother lives because the baby will be needing motherly love and care that no one can give. I believe that there was a negligence but I hope that she didn't mean it. I am just hoping that the baby will be love and taken care of.

Wow, all I knew is that pregnancy turns risky as age increases but only now have I thought it is true. Is it her first pregnancy?

This is not a disease i wanna give my views is here.
Over due pregnancy is not a disease. It is also very common. In fact, as many as half of babies will go past their due dates. This is something many women don't adequately prepare for doing pregnancy. So when their due dates comes and goes... it's annoying. On top of being annoyed that the baby is incapable of reading a calendar, they have to deal with most well meaning people who say things to them that are likely to get them in trouble. Here is what you don't say.
Thanking you
