“Ines Ramirez Perez was in labor, alone in a one room cabin in the mountains of Rio Talea, Mexico, with no one to help. The nearest clinic was 80km away and she had 12 hours of constant pain. Since she had delivered a dead baby three years earlier, she decided she did not want to deliver another dead baby and she would rather die herself.” This blog tells the story of a woman in Mexico desperate enough to have her baby that she performed a C-section on herself to deliver a healthy baby boy. An amazing story of the resilient nature of women.
