Wyatt-Hodge had to wait until the penultimate legal delivery of England's innings before she reached her milestone, with the 35-year-old celebrating bringing up her century by imitating rocking her baby and hugging captain Nat Sciver-Brunt in front of a parochial home crowd.
"I think I was on about 90 and I was like, I could actually get 100 now and do it for Daisy," she recalled after England's 87-run victory.
"And once I saw it pierce the gap and go for four, as you can see...I was really happy.
"I've been after that third T20I hundred for a few years now, so I was chuffed a bit to get it out there at Edgbaston in front of my family as well.
It was really, really special."
It was Wyatt-Hodge's third T20I century of her career as the damaging right-hander became just the second England player to achieve the feat at a Women's T20 World Cup after former skipper Heather Knight reached triple figures against Thailand at the same event in Australia in 2020.
