Yesterday I got the news that one of the babies we had to take to the hospital for breathing problems has died.
I find that at the moment I am a bit numb to the fact. I cannot quite touch the emotions that are under the surface.
I do not know how to react. This is the first time that a baby I assisted with has died. I wish that I had had a deeper relationship with the family, but I do not know why I wish that. It would not help them with their grief at all.
I am so sorry that this baby did not make it.

ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog, I have loved reading it. I have been studying Midwifery for 2 years now and travelling to gain my prac experience. Currently I am in the Netherlands and am planning to go to Bali and Uganda next. I would love to get the details of this birth clinic that you were at.
Thank you
