Chinese university student delivers baby in dorm while studying for final exam
Young woman states that she did not expect baby to arrive so quickly, thought she had time to go to hospital in the morning
A university student in central China has stunned many after giving birth to a “giant baby” in her dormitory, with her roommate calmly noting: “This isn’t her first time giving birth,” despite the scene of heavy bleeding.
The dramatic incident, which took place at a university in Hubei province, involved a third-year student unexpectedly going into labour in her dorm room. The date of the occurrence and the student’s identity have not been disclosed.
Reports indicate that the student insisted on staying in her upper bunk bed, despite her advanced pregnancy, as she found it comfortable and wished to remain in school to complete her final exams.
In the dead of night, the student suddenly went into labour. Her roommate was jolted awake by the strong smell of blood, only to discover the student enduring intense pain as she gave birth.
The scene was shocking – the cotton quilt beneath her was completely soaked in blood, said the roommate.
Emergency services were alerted immediately, and by the time the medical team arrived, the baby had already been delivered.
Doctors were taken aback by the significant haemorrhage and the size of the newborn, who weighed a remarkable 4.5kg and was classified as a “giant” infant.
