My Birth Experience

About two years age I got to experience something that I thought I would never see in these time. One of my daughter closest friend did not deliver her baby at the hospital she delivered at home in the bath tub. The girl decided that she wanted a mid wife to deliver her baby. She had not being having any complication and had being going to the gyno regularly. She invited me and my daughter over to see the birth take place the room was so calm with music and everything was sanitized and cleaned right before the birth took place. The baby came and the mid wife cut the cord and the baby and mom went the hospital for observation and the baby and mom was very healthy after this ordeal. I enjoyed the serenity of having the baby at home with people around with the calming sound of music and soft lift. As I thought about  that experience I thought about how moms in Kenya have mid wives to deliver their babies it is someone who feel close too and trust. The mid wife in my daughter life was a lady was had to come to the house the get to know the family and check on the pregnant mom weekly, they had formed such as close bond over the nine month. The birthing experience should be a calm, happy and soothing time not a rush experience. I enjoyed seeing the baby and mother in such a loving environment.
