From Reuters via CNN —
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.
DAMN. That’s hardcore.
What a woman!
