It was scary and I myself spend the night in ICU but I had a wonderful team of doctors. Secondly years ago I went to PNG and hiked the Kokoda trail. I spent a week trekking through the mud through these kind of villages so I know first hand what it is all about. I think I might check out the link to volunteer.Lisahttp://thelastdegree.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-17716782412862498632010-10-26T12:58:26.644+10:002010-10-26T12:58:26.644+10:00We are so lucky to have modern medicine on our sid...We are so lucky to have modern medicine on our side in this country.

My dd was 2 weeks over due and refused to drop down. I finally relented to having a c-section and thank goodness that I need the cord was wound around her neck so tight that she couldn't drop. I couldn't imagine not having a hospital to turn too.

How rewarding it must be for you, too.<br /><br />I do think about women in 3rd world countries delivering babies. I may have been lucky enough to make it when birthing Q in PNG, but I have many friends who may not have been so lucky. It is a great reminder to be grateful for what we have here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222856619886484288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-45645071701501714562010-10-25T20:48:38.609+10:002010-10-25T20:48:38.609+10:00How fortunate for this woman that in her case, the...How fortunate for this woman that in her case, there were resources available to help her and her babies! In the US, it can be easy to forget that people in other countries are struggling to have basic needs met. Thank you for this reminder today - I love this post!cooperl788https://www.blogger.com/profile/08903541298189613642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-77551323739750218012010-10-25T15:42:55.430+10:002010-10-25T15:42:55.430+10:00I loved this post!

I am so happy all three survived. <br /><br />Both of my deliveries required medical intervention for very different reasons. Had I given birth in a country such as Papau New Guinea, I would have died during my first delivery. I think about this almost every day. <br /><br />Thank you so much for reminding me of how lucky I am and motivating all of us of the importance of giving to communities who need our help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
