"Ines Ramirez Perez was alone with her children in her home in Oaxaca, Mexico, one night in March 2000 when she started feeling pains in her belly. The pain was familiar. It was the same one she felt when her water broke during an earlier pregnancy. However, she lost that baby because she did not reach the hospital in time for a caesarean section.

Ines was determined to save her baby this time. She sent one of her children to buy a kitchen knife with a 6 inch blade. Before starting, she had three small glasses of liquor. With the knife, she tore an 18-centimeter (7 in) hole in her abdomen, shifted her organs—which even spilled outside—and brought out her baby, all without anesthesia.

Once done, Ines cut the umbilical cord, returned her organs back into her body, and told her son to get a man to stitch her abdomen. The man arrived and attempted sewing the wound with a needle and thread but later took her to a clinic one hour away. At the clinic, Ines was referred to a hospital two hours away. She returned home five days later with her baby."
