Well, the first one is a mother that did a C-section on herself saving the baby and not dying in the process. Pretty remarkable if you ask me.
"Unfortunately, surgical techniques of that day also contributed to the appallingly high maternal mortality rates. According to one estimate not a single woman survived cesarean section in Paris between 1787 and 1876."
The woman who gave herself a c-section was able to get medical care soon afterwards. Otherwise she certainly would have died from the wound.
