 I have friends who are missionaries in Uganda and in their latest blogpost they shared the birth story of one of their new friends. I thought some of you might like to read of birthing experiences in different countries.

    I can't imagine birthing in those kinds of circumstances. 

    Not saying the maternity system where I am is perfect, but wow it makes me crazy grateful for what we have.

    That is heartbreaking.  I lived for a while in the Dominican Republic and the situation is very similar there.  Women have to bring their own medical supplies and wait in the hallway in active labor until they are about to deliver.  It does make you very grateful for what we have here, however imperfect it may be.   

    BFP #1 EDD 12/17/12 | m/c @5w1d (blighted ovum)

    BFP #2 EDD 5/19/13 Let's do this!
