A mom who wanted to feel more included in the birth of her fourth child, decided she pull her baby out herself and capture the amazing moment on camera. The “most fantastic” thing Sarah Toyer had ever done, according to her, was lifting her own child out of the womb during her C-section.
Mum describes incredible moment she pulled her baby from her body during a C-section delivery.
“This was the moment I welcomed our fourth baby into the world. Yes, I had my fourth cesarean delivery to deliver my kid. I was determined to have a maternal aided c-section as I found out I was expecting!
“I talked to every midwife, doctor, and surgeon about what I wanted to do, but they all said it would depend on the surgeon on call that day.
“So, when the day came along we waited 8 hours at the hospital, then I was standing there next to the surgeon scrubbing up just as she was.
“Maybe half an hour later I was lying on the operating table watching my son’s head being pulled from my womb. I reached down and put my hands under his arms and lifted the rest of him out of my own body. It was the most incredible thing I have ever done.”
Along with her post, Toyer, who has three other children – Jay, Ruby and Wyatt – posted astonishing pictures of the moment her son arrived into the world, taken by her husband Joseph.
Sarah said that she was keen to let other women know there’s “always another way to birth even if you have to have a C-section”.
