Woman Performs Own Caesarean To Save Baby

From CNN:

(Reuters) -- A pregnant woman in Mexico gave birth to a healthy baby boy after performing a caesarean section on herself with a kitchen knife, doctors said on Tuesday.

It is thought to be the first known case of a self-inflicted caesarean in which both the mother and baby survived.

The unidentified 40-year-old, who lived in a rural area without electricity, running water or sanitation that was an eight-hour drive from the nearest hospital, performed the operation when she could not deliver the baby naturally.

She had lost a previous baby due to labor complications.

"She took three small glasses of hard liquor and, using a kitchen knife, sliced her abdomen in three attempts...and delivered a male infant that breathed immediately and cried," said Dr R.F. Valle, of the Dr Manuel Velasco Suarez Hospital in San Pablo, Mexico....

Baby Save Caesarean Performs Woman

I would like to meet this woman. What an incredible story. That child is definately loved, wanted and lucky to have the mother he has been given. I don't think I could do this, if it were me.

I agree with you Tena. I think also that the fact she lost a baby before because of almost identical circumnstances (she lives too far away from a near hospital) made her to take such decision. What a courageous woman!
