A mum took the extraordinary decision to deliver her own twins when she gave birth – even though she had a C-section.
When the time came for her to give birth, Gerri Wolfe was not anxious. After all, she had gone through the same procedure nine more times. Except now she wanted everything to be different.
Expecting twins, the doctor informed her that she would give birth by C-section. This would be her fifth such delivery. Maybe that’s why she decided to make her more “personal”. She had read about the mother-assisted C-section on the Internet and asked her doctor to give birth that way. He had his misgivings, but when the 41-year-old insisted, he did his research and agreed.
So, three days before Christmas, Wolfe gave birth to Matilda and Violet, her 10th and 11th children, in New South Wales, Australia, pulling the babies out of her ᴡᴏᴍʙ herself.
When she entered the operating room, they put gloves on her hands and told her not to move them at all until the doctor told her to. She was not supposed to touch anything in order for her hands to be completely sterile.
After making the incision himself, the doctor told her, “And now you can hold your babies.” So she put her hands inside her belly and pulled out the two babies, placing them on her chest, according to the Daily Mail.
The photos are shocking but at the same time show the strength of this woman as well as her longing and love for her babies. Above all, of course, they show the miracle of life…
