NICU
I am doing a hospital rotation right now. These are some of the babies in the NICU. There are 101 babies currently and 2 doctors. In the last picture is 2 babies being ventilated by one ambubag. Someone has to pump all day long to keep these babies alive. There are some very tiny babies there, under a pound. Their parents leave some of the babies because they can’t pay for the bill. Working in the NICU for the last 2 days has been one of the saddest experiences of my life.

Babies Havin' Babies
This is Rohanne she isnt 2 yet but is already a promising midwife. Her mom is Grace a midwife at the clinic. Rohanne attends births with her mom and breaths with the laboring women, and pushes when they push and she rubs her stomach in between contractions. In this picture she is sitting on the birth stool. Most moms have their babies on this stool and we use newspaper to keep everything clean then throw it away.
