Giving birth at home, the family called a technology car instead of 115, an extremely tragic ending

At dawn at an inn in Ho Chi Minh City, the cry of birth did not have time to sound, but a terrifying silence enveloped. Instead of dialing 115, the family hurriedly booked a technology car to take the woman away. However, this choice has led to the most heartbreaking consequences.

The online community is stirred by the information about a tragic miscarriage that occurred at dawn on February 8 in Ho Chi Minh City. The incident not only shocked the public about the dangers of giving birth at home, but also sparked mixed controversies about how to handle family emergencies. Instead of trusting the professional medical team, choosing a technology car in a panic led to a heartbreaking ending that no one wanted.

Information from Gia An 115 Hospital said that the emergency call center received a call for help from the family of Ms. C.T.H (33 years old) at dawn. When the medical team arrived after 15 minutes, the mother was awake but the 28-week-old fetus was lying motionless. The heartbreaking scene took place when doctors noted that the baby was purple, with no signs of life. All attempts at emergency resuscitation then became hopeless to the surprise and pain of the relatives.

According to the shared development, at about 23 hours on February 7, Ms. H. showed signs of abdominal pain, but her family subjectively did not take her to the hospital immediately. By 2 a.m. the next morning, the intense pain caused her to give birth at home. In a panic, the family instead of calling the 115 emergency room chose to book a technology car to take them away. It is the delay in accessing specialized medical care at the time of rupture of the amniotic fluid and the birth of the baby that deprives the little baby of the chance to live.

Public opinion expressed extreme sorrow at the passing of the little creature, and at the same time could not help but wonder about the knowledge of first aid and handling emergency situations of many families. Why is it that in the midst of a thousand pounds hanging by the hair, the choice is a ride-hailing app instead of emergency centers? Many people think that perhaps the panic has prevented the family from making the most informed decisions, or it may be due to the habit of relying on technology.

Also in the past few days, the situation of birth at home is quite common and brings many valuable lessons. Just a day earlier, another pregnant woman in Tan Vinh Loc commune also gave birth at a hostel because she did not go for regular prenatal checkups due to economic difficulties. Fortunately, she was intervened in time, so she was not in danger. The contrast between the two cases further clarifies the importance of examining and preparing for the moment of birth.

Previously, a 32-year-old pregnant woman also gave birth in An Lac because the pain was too much to move to the hospital. When the family called 115, it was too late, the baby did not survive even though he was instructed to give first aid over the phone. The incidents that have occurred in a row are a red warning bell for families with pregnant women who are about to give birth. The distance between life and death in these situations is only in minutes, and basic medical knowledge is vital.

Authorities and medical experts constantly warn about the dangers of giving birth at home without the support of medical staff. Miscarriage has a high risk of infection, bleeding for the mother and suffocation and hypothermia for the baby. Families need to be equipped with basic knowledge of labor signs and emergency phone number 115 to promptly handle when an incident occurs. Don't let the wrong choices in a moment of panic lead to irreversible consequences.
