Hey my new fellow classmates......
So myself, personally have never experienced or seen a child being born ever. I do someday hope to experience this joyful occasion but as of right now it is not in my to do list. I believe that every woman, should experience child birth and the feeling of being a provider and a nurturer. Children are so amazing and I think it is a chance to see what type of person they will become because of your guidance and your care. If it wasn't for babies there would be no need for child development and I probably would not have a job!! Therefore I think that child birth is very important in our society it is what keeps our world going round!!
Birth's in Madagascar
Madagascar is a country that lies near the coast of South Africa. Sadly Madagascar has a high maternal mortality rate. The lack of skilled attendants penalises many mothers and also the lack of resources.The local clinic in Belanitra has only four beds and about 20 women give birth there per month. Sometimes the clinic ask patients to bring their own mattress or the woman has to leave a few hours after labour to make room for the other expecting mothers. The clinic hopes that improved fistula care will make a difference to maternal mortality rates. Reading this article that I found makes me really appreciate my country. It should really make people who have children or that are expecting appreciate the resources that we have to make sure that our children are brought into this world safely and with the best care provided. I have a new appreciation for women who have to go through child birth in all countries because they all go through different struggles.
