A 40-year-old married woman in Malaysia, Nur Asiah, has recently been promoted to be a mother of two, and the children are all delivered at home, but the reason behind it is not that she is too late to enter the delivery room, but that she is too conservative and afraid of being asked by a “male doctor” delivery.

According to a report by Malaysia’s “China Press”, in order to obtain a health manual for pregnant women and confirm the number of weeks of the fetus in the womb, Noaisia ​​only went to a private clinic for prenatal checkups twice during her pregnancy, which was far lower than the normal number of prenatal checkups. What’s more exaggerated is that the concept is very Conservative, she was worried that a male doctor would perform the operation during childbirth, so she simply watched Youtube teaching videos at home to “teach herself” childbirth methods. Fortunately, with the help of her husband and family members, both deliveries passed safely. Without the assistance of medical personnel, the consequences would be disastrous.

In addition, Noaisia ​​also does not believe in modern medicine. Dabao and Erbao have never received any vaccines since they were born, just because she is worried that the side effects of vaccines will affect the health of children in the future. The concept of hygiene education is very different from others, which makes people dumbfound speechless.

After the news was exposed, it caused heated discussions among netizens, “Ignorance is terrible!”, “What age is it now?”, “There are too many men outside, remember not to go out”, “I thought it happened in Africa or the Taliban, but it happened in Malaysia”, “You have to save even the money to give birth, you will feel proud if nothing happens, when something happens?”, “In the past, the poor family had no money to be hospitalized and delivered the child by themselves, but she was afraid of male doctors. It is really incomprehensible”, but Some people also believe that as long as the health status of the mother and fetus permits, home delivery is not unfeasible. There are many similar cases abroad.
