Sometimes, when a woman suffers Death by Childbirth, the child is seen as the mother's last gift to her surviving family. But then there are these cases, in which the child is blamed for the mother's death.
Typically, this involves being hated or otherwise ill-treated by their father, their (maybe) Resentful Guardian. Other relatives are free to join in, though. Who's actually to blame for the death is completely irrelevant — there are too many historical cases of Death by Childbirth caused by doctor screw-ups (and Streptococcus pneumoniae), but if this trope is in play, the kid's still getting full blame. Likewise, don't expect anyone to point out that the father is much more blameworthy for the mother's death than the child, as he's the one who impregnated her in the first place. Also, keep in mind that this trope also applies when the child blames themselves for "killing" their mother.
Needless to say, this child will commonly grow up to be The Un-Favorite. Expect them to be told that They Died Because of You. Bonus points if someone mentioned that the child should've died instead.
For actual cases of children killing their mother, see Matricide.
This is a subtrope of You Should Have Died Instead. Compare Replacement Goldfish, when the (often female) child is seen as a preservation of her mother. Contrast Hates Their Parent, for when it's the father (or mother) receiving the hate.

Sleepless Domain: While magical girl Mitsuki Watanabe didn't die as a direct result of having her daughter Kokoro, she did lose her powers as a result of the pregnancy — which left her defenseless during a monster attack not long after Kokoro was born. Kokoro would later blame herself for her mother's death — acknowledging that even if she knows that she was only an infant at the time, this is far easier to understand intellectually than it is to process emotionally.

In The Eyes of The Dragon, Prince Thomas at least imagines that his father and everyone else in the kingdom feels this way. Possibly Subverted—while it's true that Peter is King Roland's favorite son, this trope doesn't actually seem to be the reason behind it.note It's more that Peter has all of Queen Sasha's best traits, while Thomas reminds Roland too much of his own shortcomings. Also, as a twist, Queen Sasha was actually murdered by the midwife during Thomas's birth, on Flagg's orders.

In Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), Snively’s father Colin tried to avoid this trope, but Snively growing up with several traits he despised caused him to resent his son. This resulted in the demeaning nickname and him going to work for Dr. Robotnik.

Downplayed in Breaking Dawn when Edward tells Bella, who's dying from her accelerated supernatural pregnancy, that there's no way that he could ever love the baby if Bella dies. Bella and Edward are unusually insular when it comes to their romance, so he's telling the truth. He changes his mind when he hears the baby's thoughts.

In Nightrunner, protagonist Seregil's father Korit blamed him for his wife Ilia dying in childbirth. Also a case of Never My Fault. Korit had wanted a son and Ilia had been producing daughters, so they kept trying until Seregil was born, at the cost of his mother's life.

Angel has possibly the only case where this is justified: season 4's Big Bad, Jasmine, is one of the Powers That Be who possesses Angel's Love Interest, Cordelia, uses her to have sex with Angel's son Connor, and then gives birth to herself as a Physical Goddess. After giving birth, Cordelia is in a coma, and Angel is naturally pissed. (At least, once he shakes off Jasmine's Mind Control.)

The original Fallout: Equestria has Deadshot Calamity be the victim of this. Not only was it how he got his name, but his father hated him because of it. Because of this, it also made his two older brothers Pride and Autumn Leaf that were starved for their fathers' approval to think that by bullying and belittling Calamity would make things better for the both of them.

Subverted later when it turns out it was a lie he said on the Fourth Kazekage's orders, and that Yashamaru actually loved his nephew and hated his brother-in-law for forcing him to do that.

Inverted in Cruel Beauty: Nyx came out of her mother's womb easily, but her twin sister Astraia's birth soon after caused fatal complications. However, their father favors Astraia because she strongly resembles her mother, and treats Nyx as The Unfavorite because she resembles him instead. Nyx theorizes that the lack of difficulty of her birth only reminds him of how he himself escaped the suffering his Deal with the Devil caused his beloved wife and Astraia.

Ruby and Nora: Raven and Qrow Branwen are twins and their mother Ava died in childbirth while delivering Qrow. Thus, Raven considers it his first kill. Unlike most examples, however, she sees this as a point of pride. This is shown as another example of her sociopathic nature since she wishes she could've done it.

In the musical of Wicked, Elphaba is blamed for her mother's death even though her mother died after giving birth to her younger sister, Nessarose. Their father wanted to make sure there were no more green kids in the family, so he made the mother chew milkweed pods. The result was a fair-skinned but crippled daughter and the mother died soon afterward. The father blames Elphaba for causing this by being green in the first place.

Westeros: An American Musical: This comes up concerning Tyrion:
He mentions this as one of the reasons he needs to prove himself to the rest of his family in "Hand of the King".
When Cersei fears that Tyrion's methods will get the entire rest of the Lannister family killed, she speaks of their mother as if she's Tyrion's current record of getting family members killed.

A variant occurs in Persona 5, where Futaba's mother is murdered by the Government Conspiracy, who then leave a fake suicide note blaming the incident on the stress of raising her. Rather than act like rational adults and write it off as mental illness, Futaba's adult relatives instead surround the innocent 12-year-old girl and scream at her, calling her a murderer and refuse to take her in despite her having nobody.
Another variant, bordering on an inversion, involves Akechi as the biological son of Masayoshi Shido, who ordered him to kill Futaba's mother to begin with. His true goal from working with him was to enact revenge for his own mother's actual suicide as a result of his abandonment. Unfortunately, Shido was planning to get rid of him anyway to tie up loose ends, even having some some idea of who he really was and what he was trying to do.

Black Clover: Arguably the main source of Noelle's issues. Subjected to this by her father and elder siblings, with Nozel even lamenting that Noelle didn’t die in place of their mother. The fact that Noelle was born and grew up unable to properly control her own magic, no doubt intensified this lingering resentment and belief already held by her family.

Venom: Related to the above Spider-Man example, part of Eddie Brock's backstory had his mother dying of complications giving birth to him. His father Carl, a mostly cold, unemotional man before meeting and falling in love with his mother, held him responsible for her death by being distant and unaffectionate towards him, which in turn instilled in Eddie a desire to prove himself and make his father proud. After the false Sin-Eater debacle which ends with Eddie disgraced following Spider-Man capturing the real deal, Carl outright disowns him and ceases all communication. Becoming Venom doesn't make things any better; indeed, Carl slams the door on Peter Parker when approached for a word about his son.

Downplayed in InCryptid. James Smith's mother didn't die until years after he was born, but his father still blames him because of the Hereditary Curse passed down James's mother's line, that makes the holder die once they have a child to carry on their sorcerous lineage. (Plus there's other reasons he mistreats him, like homophobia)

When Alistair "reunites" with his older half-sister Goldanna in Dragon Age: Origins, she accuses him of killing their mother in childbirth. According to tie-in canon, his mother is someone else entirely and they're not actually related. However, at the time they have this conversation, neither of them is aware of that due to some heavily edited historical documents.

In the Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs prequel Fairest of All: A Tale of... the Wicked Queen, this is part of the Queen's backstory. Her father, the finest mirror maker in the kingdom, resented her as she grew up and continued that abuse after his death in the form of the Spirit of the Magic Mirror.

Steven Universe: The second season reveals that Steven worries that the Crystal Gems may secretly blame him regarding the death of their leader, his mother Rose Quartz. He likely developed the notion after season one's "Rose's Scabbard", in which Pearl yells at him for even suggesting that he could understand his mother's actions, doesn't come to his aid when he nearly dies trying to chase after her following said outburst, and openly wonders how much of her was left behind in him. Though in Pearl's case, her extreme reactions are partially because Rose was her Love Interest and said death was just salt on the wound of losing her to Greg, whom she openly treats with disdain until the third season.

Warcraft: Lothar's wife died giving birth to their son Callan, making Lothar resentful of his son for it. Lothar eventually realized how unfair and cruel he was being, but Callan still spent his life trying to earn his father's approval by becoming a great warrior, which eventually led to him being killed by Blackhand.

Cruelly twisted in the play Long Day's Journey Into Night: The mother didn't die, but was injured during the youngest son, Edmund's, birth and got addicted to morphine to ease her physical pain. This is one of the many cruel, final insults the father hurls at Edmund before the end of the play, and even he realizes he has gone too far in blaming him for that.

It's implied in Gunnerkrigg Court that Anthony Carver may have some feeling of this towards his daughter Antimony, given the way he disappeared on her and her mother's statement in flashback "he still loves you very much" (emphasis added), but given his total lack of contact, it's hard to say for sure. The reason is that Surma was part fire-elemental and passed that on to Annie, which means Annie literally took her mother's life force as she grew older. And when Anthony does turn up as a teacher, his behavior towards Annie is rather heartless. When she is given an opportunity to spy on him during a vulnerable moment, it's revealed that Anthony really blames himself for not being able to find a way to save Surma. His cold behavior towards Annie was an unhealthy reaction to her startling resemblance to Surma (which is why he insisted on her removing her makeup), and he expresses great shame about it later in private.

While it's left ambiguous, Tygra of the Thunder Cats 2011 series may blame Lion-O for the death of his adoptive mother, the queen. Of course, her being a delicate waif at the time of Lion-O's birth has probably never occurred to him. To complicate matters further, the king treated Tygra like a son up until then, but their relationship changed with the birth of Lion-O, who was pretty much guaranteed to inherit the throne by virtue of being a biological heir, no matter what the older Tygra may have done to be more deserving of the throne.

In Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff tells Cathy Linton that he cursed her when she came into the world because her birth killed her mother, his soulmate Catherine Earnshaw. This, combined with the fact that her father is Edgar Linton, making her the living symbol of her mother's rejection of Heathcliff for the wealthier man, makes her one of the central targets of Heathcliff's schemes for revenge.

One episode of Dollhouse has a client hire the Dollhouse to program a mother for his newborn, whose actual mother died in childbirth. He blamed the baby and could not give him the love he needed. In a rare subversion, the client knew it was irrational and still wanted the child to be loved, which was why he had them program Echo to think she was his mother. By the end of the episode, he's gotten over his issues and takes care of his son on his own.

Could be the case on Gossip Girl (2007). Chuck Bass spends the first two seasons believing his father hates him because Mama Bass died giving birth to him. Then season three features a woman who claims to be Chuck's mother and that Bart simply told him she was dead because she ran out on them when Chuck was a baby. Said woman then proceeds to con him out of his hotel and leave town and the show never bothers to make it clear whether or not she was his mother or a con artist who knew the Basses back when Chuck was little. To make matters more confusing, in season two Bart talks to Chuck about his mother and claims he doesn't blame him for her death but has a hard time connecting to his son because he looks so much like the wife Bart lost. Then in season six Bart is pretty much plain evil and hates Chuck for no apparent reason.

In Bokurano, Jun Ushiro abuses his little sister, Kana because their mother died giving birth to her. In the manga, Kanji, a long-time friend of the siblings, gives Ushiro a "The Reason You Suck" Speech saying that as uncaring as Ushiro is, he doesn't want Kana to die, since Ushiro's angry with his mother for dying, and is taking out his anger toward her on Kana. It turns out that Kana's mother isn't Ushiro's mother — in fact, he was adopted when his own mother, Misumi Tanaka, abandoned him.

In Megan Kearney's Beauty and the Beast, Temperance used to be a Big Sister Bully to Beauty because she blamed her for the loss of their mother Elise, although she eventually outgrew it and the two are now very close. Beauty thinks this was because her birth weakened Elise's health, leading indirectly to her death. Actually, Temperance probably realized that Elise had sacrificed herself in a magical bargain to save Beauty when the latter was gravely ill as a little girl.

It turns out Avalon's mother was actually poisoned in an attempt to kill both her and the child as part of an Inheritance Murder, and when Avalon survived, the conspirators encouraged Reggie toward this conclusion in the hope that he would finish the job.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
Tywin Lannister loathes his son Tyrion because Tywin's wife Joanna (who was pretty much Tywin's Morality Chain) died giving birth to Tyrion. The fact that Tyrion was born with dwarfism and deformities adds insult to injury. Tywin only acknowledges Tyrion as his son to the extent necessary under social norms, and openly tells Tyrion that if it weren't for the love Tywin bore his mother, Tywin would have left him to die at birth. His older sister Cersei also treats him this way. This really comes back to bite them, since Tyrion is actually one of the more competent Lannisters. When Tyrion discovers that Tywin not only framed him for Joffrey's murder but convinced him that his legitimate wife was nothing more than a whore, Tyrion kills him.
This is a part of Daenerys's backstory; her mother also died giving birth to her while her mother and brother were on the run from assassins. For that, her narration states, her older brother Viserys had never forgiven her, although he continued to take care of her until his Start of Darkness.

One Piece: Sanji's mother Sora took dangerous drugs in an attempt to undo the in-utero genetic modification Judge had forced on her to turn their children into merciless killing machines. The drugs destroyed her body and failed to have any effect on three of the four children; Sanji was the only one who turned out normal. Judge already treated Sanji with utter disdain for not being born exceptional, but his abuse increased once Sora died from aftereffects of the drugs, as though it were somehow Sanji's fault.

In Best Served Cold, the Barbarian Hero Shivers justifies his participation in helping to carry out a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, because Shivers wants to avenge the death of his beloved brother, who everyone considered The Ace. Later, Shivers's POV reveals this is a lie. In reality, Shivers hated his brother. Shivers's mother died giving birth to him, and because of that, his brother would cruelly abuse him when others weren't watching.

A variation occurs in Moral Orel: Orel's father, Clay, was his parents' only living child after his mother, Angela, suffered ten miscarriages due to her excessive drinking, smoking, and overall recklessness while pregnant (Clay survived because Angela spent most of that pregnancy praying for his safety instead). After Angela finally tells Clay about his unborn siblings, he responds by faking suicide with his dad's gun as a prank; unfortunately, this is too much for Angela's weak heart, and she collapses and dies in her husband's arms. Arthur (Clay's dad) openly blames Clay for killing Angela, but also decides that Clay is not worth hitting after Clay intentionally tries to antagonize him (which results in Clay associating abuse with affection and attention).

Song of the Sea: Older brother Ben resents and silently blames his sister, Saoirse, for their mother's disappearance on the day of her birth (not death, in this case, but Ben doesn't know that until later). Not helping his attitude is the fact that their father very much averts this trope and is very loving towards his daughter, sometimes at the expense of his son, leading Ben to develop into an Aloof Older Brother at best and a flat-out Big Brother Bully at worst. He gets better over the course of the film.

Inverted in The Bible: Jacob's favorite wife, Rachel, dies in childbirth with her second child, Benjamin. He and Rachel's other son, Joseph, are Jacob's favorite children, and Jacob becomes especially protective of Benjamin after Joseph's "death." Rachel named him Ben-Oni, which means "son of my pain." Jacob opted for Benjamin, "son (born in) the wilderness."

In Atari Force, Christopher Champion was believed to be blamed by his father Martin for his mother Lydia's death at birth. It was only years later that Dr. Lucas Orion, the physician present at the birth, realized that Martin blamed the Dark Destroyer for Lydia's death, as the Dark Destroyer's life force entered into Lydia, killed her, then entered into Martin while he was unaware due to grief, in order to know his unique genetic makeup so that he could be born as an Evil Knockoff of Martin.

Present in some adaptations of A Christmas Carol, such as the the 1984 version with George C. Scott. This is usually done to explain why young Ebenezer was left at school over the holidays with this trope.note These adaptations will typically make Scrooge's sister Fan older than him, rather than younger as she was in the book. It may also explain why he's so cold towards his nephew, Fred, since Ebenezer's sister is said to have died giving birth to him.

Game of Thrones:
Like the books, Tywin Lannister makes no effort to hide the fact that he blames his dwarf son for his wife's Death by Childbirth. Cersei also blames Tyrion for their mother's death, even when they were both kids, and wishes death upon him for his "murder". After Tyrion makes a joke about her hidden relationship with Jaime she makes an even crueler taunt that Joanna died for his sake, which should be Tyrion's greatest joke. Jaime is, in fact, Tyrion's only immediate relative who loves him unconditionally.
One of the many reasons Viserys came to both hate and love his little sister in the same breath. Never having a mother of her own is quite critical to Dany's burgeoning maternal feelings to her own adopted 'children', both the draconian kind and the followers who worship her.

Trash Skill Gacha makes it a huge plot point that protagonist Crest Bahurst, the youngest of five brothers, had the unmitigated gall to survive his mother's Death by Childbirth, as such, his father, Duke Bahurst, saw him as a murderer that escaped justice and openly condoned all four of Crest's elder brothers to abuse and torment him, in pretty much any way imaginable. Crest had a brief ray of hope on his 15th birthday because his father decided to be decent for once in his life and suck up to him due to getting an unusual god's given skill "Gacha." However, since Crest couldn't use it on the spot, Duke Bahurst accused him of lying and banished him to near certain death. When it turns out Crest was telling the truth, he blames Crest for his own hot-headed blunder and lets the very same sadistic brothers try to get him back. Naturally, this pointedly does not go well.

Robot Chicken: In their spoof of The Sound of Music, Bitch Pudding replaces Maria and, rather than bother to learn their names, gives them insulting nicknames. The name she gives the youngest is "Mommy Killer," and their father sighs and concedes that it's close enough.

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!: As the old man reveals in a rant, the Vegetable (his son) was big even when he was a newborn and his birth killed his mother. The old man says he hates the Vegetable for this.

In the core Triptych Continuum fanfic Triptych, Doctor Gentle blames his daughter the nameless pony Her because his wife died giving birth to her. She was also born an Earth Pony. The idea that his wife died giving birth to an Earth Pony who would never be able to use unicorn magic was not something Gentle could accept. So he would dedicate himself to "correcting" this, leading to the main plot of the story. For extra cruelty points, part of the grooming process he did was to deliberately refuse to name her and repeatedly drill it into her head that she killed her mother and that she has to make up for it.

The Faraway Paladin: Meneldor's mother died shortly after giving birth to him, which was part of the reason why he was ostracized by his village and in turn eventually left it to become an adventurer.

Earth's Children:
The second book contains a variation in which both the mother and the child die. Jetamio has been trying to give Thonolan a child, but keeps miscarrying. Eventually, she carries a pregnancy to term, only for complications to arise during labour due to a combination of the child being breech and Jetamio's hips being too narrow, resulting in Jetamio's death. The local healer tries to save the child (a boy) by performing an emergency c-section, but is unable to get the child out in time. When Thonolan is told about this, he says he "doesn't want to see the son that killed her", suggesting that, even if the child had survived, he would have blamed him for what happened to Jetamio.
In the sixth book, Ayla wonders if one of the reasons "children of mixed spirits" (people of mixed Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon heritage) came to be regarded as "abominations" is the increased risk of potentially fatal complications if the mother is a Cro-Magnon. The heads of such babies, in addition to being shaped differently, are often too big for a Cro-Magnon woman to deliver, which can lead to the mother's death.

In Anne of Windy Poplars, Elizabeth Grayson suffers constant psychological abuse at the hands of her great-grandmother's housekeeper who used to dote on her mother, who died in childbirth. She is abandoned by her father for the same reason; however, a letter sent by Anne, describing what sort of life Elizabeth leads, triggers his Heel Realization, and he returns to take the girl away.

The second wife of Justice Society of America villain the Icicle died giving birth to their only child, Cameron, due to the baby developing cryokinetic powers in the womb as a result of his father's constant exposure to freezing technology. Joar hated his son for this and constantly told him that he would never be anything but a killer before eventually abandoning him and cutting him out of his will. Unsurprisingly, Cameron grew up to be a self-loathing Jerkass who became a villain himself.

In the backstory for Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Oskar von Reuenthal's mother committed suicide when he was born because his distinctive two-tone eyes were living proof of her infidelity. Reuenthal spent his entire childhood being told by his father that life would have been better had he never been born, which very much warped his sense of self-worth.

The Elric Saga: Elric's father, Emperor Sadric, is said to not have cared much for his son because of this trope. Interestingly enough, he still chose the sickly Elric to succeed him to the throne over his ambitious cousin, Yyrkoon. In the novels, Sadric is a Posthumous Character but in the prequel comic, Elric: Making of a Sorcerer, we get to actually see him interacting with his son. In the comic, Sadric seems to be occasionally genuinely worried about his son's wellbeing and it is hypothesized by Cymoril that at least a part of him loves Elric even though he claims to spurn him.

It's indicated in Blood Meridian that the Kid's father resented his son and fell into alcoholic despair over his wife's death after giving birth during the Leonid meteor shower of 1833, referring to the Kid as "the creature" in front of his face as he recounts the story. The Kid is shown running away from home after this.

In Cyberpunk 2077 the Memory Jar of the Serial Killer known as "Peter Pan" showed that his Freudian Excuse stemmed from this. His father blamed him for his mother's death and reminded him of this when he forgot to look after one of their sick cows before leaving for school, saying that he killed it as he killed her.
