News reports<\/a> in Singapore claim that a “young girl” ordered abortion drugs online and took them at home, only to then give birth to her baby girl, born alive, on her bathroom floor. The baby, whose estimated age was between 29 and 33 weeks gestation, died despite efforts to save her.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the girl, whose name and age have not been released, suspected she was pregnant because she had missed her period and gained weight. However, she never went to a doctor to confirm her pregnancy, and evidently had no real knowledge of how far advanced her pregnancy was. She ordered abortion drugs online in an effort to conceal the pregnancy from her parents, and then allegedly “swallowed the whole bottle of pills” at home. Lianhe Zaobao reports<\/a>, “She initially went back to her room to sleep, thinking that the fetus had not yet formed and that she would be fine after expelling a pool of blood.”<\/p>\n

Instead, she woke in such pain that she had to lie on the bathroom floor. She called her mother for help and then gave birth to her baby. Although the baby received CPR, she eventually died; reports later showed the infant suffered heart failure.<\/p>\n
