A pregnant mother is lucky to be alive after accidentally stabbing herself in the neck in a freak accident in Western Australia.
Ashlee Shier, 29, of Beeliar in suburban Perth, was cutting up fruit for her son Landon, six, and daughter Aria, three, when she slipped on her pet dog’s bowl.
As she fell to the floor she accidentally plunged the knife she was using into her throat while trying to protect her bump, The Sun reports.
When her partner Troy, 32, walked into the kitchen, he found his seven months pregnant girlfriend making a “horrible gurgling noise” when she tried to talk.
He sprang into action, creating a tourniquet using a tea towel before calling an ambulance. Ashlee believes it was Troy’s quick thinking that saved her — and their unborn child’s — life.
“So I’ve brought my hands up as I’ve fallen to the ground, forgetting I still had the knife in my hand,” she told The Sun.
“At that point I didn’t realise that it had stabbed itself straight into my neck. I thought I may have just cut it or something small but I felt wetness on my neck.”
Ashlee said Troy went very pale when he saw her and she started to freak out as her chest began to feel tight.
While in the ambulance Ashlee said her blood pressure started to drop and she was coughing up blood.
At this stage paramedics weren’t sure of the extent of damage to her windpipe.
