Woman performs own caesarean to save baby

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.

The article also goes on to say, that her health care insurer had mandated this procedure as a way to keep her premiums down. It will also reimburse her for 20% of the value of the liquor and buy her a ginsu knife.

I heard today that the child is being taken away from the mother. It seems that she endangered the baby by drinking those 3 glasses of liquor while she was pregnant. She is an unfit mother.

I've had "three small glasses of hard liquor" before. I wouldn't trust it to dull the pain of thrusting a ginsu into my abdomen. Maybe stubbing a toe or getting a papercut, but not a C-section.
