The situation became so serious that the police had to start an investigation to maintain peace. Siti Zainah reiterated her statement to the police and media that she had not had any physical relationship with any man. She was unmarried and claimed to have conceived by chance.
What do doctors and medical experts say?
Doctors believe that this could be a case of ‘pregnancy denial’. This is a condition in which the woman herself does not know that she is pregnant, especially in conservative societies where there is a lot of social pressure and stigma regarding pregnancy. In such a situation, the brain unconsciously rejects the pregnancy. Many times women do not know for 9 months that they are going to become a mother and suddenly they come to know at the time of delivery. Doctors told that Siti’s sudden bloating and rapid delivery could be due to this condition.

The police investigated the case but found no criminal evidence. The child was healthy and the mother was also normal. However, this incident attracted a lot of discussion throughout Indonesia and the world media. People were sharing it on social media by calling it ‘pregnancy by air’. Some people were laughing while some were emotionally commenting on the mother-daughter story. This case also highlights social pressure on women. Especially in societies where unmarried pregnancy is not accepted, women remain under psychological pressure. Once again this news is going viral on social media.
