4 Aug
Summary
- A mother in Mexico performed an emergency C-section on herself.
- She used a sewing needle and cotton thread to close her wound.
- Both mother and baby survived the harrowing ordeal.
A 40-year-old mother of nine in a remote Mexican village performed a life-saving emergency C-section on herself. Facing a stalled labor and a previous stillbirth, she used a butcher's knife and liquor to deliver her baby, as no medical help was accessible.
After the delivery, her cousin, a local health assistant, closed her abdominal wound using a sewing needle and cotton thread. She was then transported to a clinic and later a hospital, eight hours away.
Doctors later repaired her uterus and abdomen, and she healed with a six-inch scar. This incredible survival story highlights the desperation faced by individuals in areas lacking adequate healthcare access.
