tales of a MIDwife..

I'm stILL hERE! Unfortunately, my camera is not working at the moment, and so I'm seriously lacking in pictures..I try, whenever possible, to steal some from the other girls though - acTUAlly, it works quite well! Here are just a couple of pictures from my last assist.. I was helping out Naomi as she handled this birth.
Depicted here are the soon-to-be parents (the mother in mid-push, and the husband - sO nervous, this was his fourth child, but he'd never seen a baby come out before! He almost broke down and cried when it did finally come - he thought it was dead! awe, hahaaa, poor guy!), our supervisor - Ate Susan, and Naomi at the labouring woman's feet. It was an exciting birth!

Aaand waiting, waiting...sometimes we're forced to have more patience than i've ever had to practice (but other times, they fly out!) It's always a good time in the birth room, either way!
