i´m going to a midwife training all next week. cool huh? you know they don´t give anything for pain here. nothing. nada. zip. we have a birthing clinic here. when the women from the surrounding communities are about to pop they stay here until theyre ready to press the baby out. the previous volunteer saw something like 28 births. i can´t wait!
