YIKES. I'm torn between admiration and total horror. I wish the article had more details on why on earth she decided to do something that dangerous!

I need the fainting smile again...


she deserves the mother of the year award or sainthood!

I vote for sainthood. You think she'll be having any more babies? A c-section with a kitchen knife, sewn shut with cotton could not be good for one's uterus AT ALL. Maybe she had a subsequent hysterectomy. I need a nail-biting smilie.

I haven't heard anything about this down here but if it's true she's my hero!

It could be, but there are cases where people have cut off a limb with a pocket knife in order to save their own lives, and that involved a lot more cutting!
