When the time came to give birth, Gerri Wolfe was not anxious. After all, she had been through the same procedure nine more times. Except this time, she wanted everything to be different.
Expecting twins, the doctor informed her that she would deliver via C-section. This would be her fifth delivery of this kind. Perhaps that’s why she decided to make it more “personal.” She had read about mother-assisted C-sections on the internet and asked her doctor to deliver in that way. She had her doubts, but when the 41-year-old man insisted, she researched and agreed.
So, three days before Christmas, Wolfe gave birth to Matilda and Violet, her 10th and 11th children, in New South Wales, Australia, and she herself brought the babies out of her womb.
When she entered the operating room, gloves were placed on her hands, and she was told not to move them at all until the doctor instructed her. She was not supposed to touch anything so that her hands would be completely sterile.
After making the incision herself, the doctor said, “And now you can hold your babies.” So she put her hands inside her belly and brought out the two babies, placing them on her chest, according to the Daily Mail.
The photos are striking but at the same time demonstrate 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…
