A hospital visitor says she witnessed a heavily pregnant woman and her husband reject a recommended caesarean section despite medical advice. The woman, who is 41 weeks pregnant with her first child and reportedly showing no signs of labour, was advised by a gynaecologist to undergo urgent surgery for her safety and that of the baby. According to the account, her husband refused because he feared the procedure would affect her appearance. The woman also declined to sign the consent form, reportedly citing her husband's objections.
