Abstract: | A 23-year-old woman was found hanging from the ceiling of her house by the neighbours. A live healthy male newborn baby was found lying on the ground with the umbilical cord in situ and placenta inside the uterus. The woman, a primigravida, married 3 years back, was in labour since morning. Her husband had gone out to call for some help to conduct delivery. During the absence of her husband, the wife bolted the door from inside and committed suicide by hanging. During this process she delivered a healthy male baby. This may be the first documentation of a pregnant woman delivering a healthy baby successfully, following suicide by hanging. |
