Complete nonsense. Another false baseless medical feat from a third world country. The woman will bleed to death before the arrival of the nurse. You can be sure if this story emanated from the US the press will get to the bottom of it. But since it is coming from a hole in Mexico (itself a hole) you can be sure it wont be investigated.

xxxkubexxx: why didn't she send for the local nurse before cutting herself?
If she had sent for the local nurse she probably would have lost the baby or her life as well before the nurse's arrival. If you've gone through the pains of childbirth, you definitely won't be asking this question.

author=ykkool]A woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy after
performing a Caesarean on herself with a kitchen knife.


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, lived in a rural area of Mexico without
electricity or running water, and eight hours from the nearest hospital.
The International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics reported the
case.

The woman performed the operation when she could not deliver the baby
naturally, having lost a previous baby due to labour complications.

Dr R Valle, of the Dr Manuel Velasco Suarez Hospital in San Pablo,
Mexico, said: “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.”

Before losing consciousness, the woman told one of her children to call a
local nurse for help.

After the nurse stitched the wound with a sewing needle and cotton
thread, the mother and baby were transferred and treated by Dr Valle and
his colleagues at the nearest hospital.

“This case represents an unusual and extraordinary decision by a woman
in labour who, unable to deliver herself spontaneously, and with no
medical help or resources, decided to perform a caesarean section upon
herself,” he said.

He added that a mother’s instinct to save her child can move a woman to
perform extraordinary acts but said it would not have been necessary if
adequate medical care had been available.

Professor James Walker, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at St
James’s University Hospital, Leeds, said he had heard of cases in the
past where farmers had performed Caesareans on their wives after having
previously carried out the operation on animals.

But he said it would not happen now. “In this country, there is
virtually never a situation when an individual is totally isolated from
medical care even in the most outlying areas.”

I doubt some part of this story. How come she realised to send her baby to call a nurse after a more tedious effort. If she really did this I guess she is not totally sane or the nurse is protecting some illegal attempts she made to operate her. I stand corrected any way
Re: Woman Performs Own Caesarean To Save Baby by holysmoke(m): 7:16pm On Oct 24, 2012
This story first made the headlines over a year ago. I actually thought it was a repeat of the same feat only to learn it was one and the same. Nothing so bad in a rehash, just make it clear dude.
