⚠️ In 2000, Inés Ramírez Pérez from Mexico delivered a healthy baby boy by slicing open her own stomach with a kitchen knife after 12 hours of agonizing labor. In doing so, she became the only woman in medical history to successfully perform a self-cesarean. With no electricity or running water, and the nearest hospital 12 miles away, Inés felt she had no other option. Her previous child had been a stillbirth, so Inés was determined not to let it happen again. She downed some hard liqor, sliced open her stomach, pulled out her baby and then cut the umbilical cord. Both mother and baby survived without serious injury… just a scar of honor for Inés for her heroic act ❤️
