o.k. i have no idea why these pics are coming up in this order...but here we go! this is the view from my room. not bad huh? so mom, when you are worried about me, just know i am looking out onto a tropical paradise...the little village of nyuh kuning. we just had a birth and i am still a little a little shaken up. i am still not ready for the birth and it is over. the woman came in at 7am this morning with very little going on and 1 cm dilation. it is her 3rd baby, she was in very light labor, but the family lives over an hour away on motorbike and they didn't want to go home. her due date was in a few days. a side note here...no one is sure of their dates around here so i have learned to always be ready for a little baby with problems...unless i clearly palpate a large baby and they are measuring full term. due dates are big guesses here and many women hide perfect term babies in tiny little bellies. also, some women come in that we have never seen before. in fact i caught a baby the other night and on her chart, under her due date and last menstrual period it said ?? great huh? so basically we do a little exam if we are in doubt. most carry good size babies with very minimal changes in their own bodies. haev to send this b/c battery is dieing...more later!
