Yesterday Class

Yesterday We had a class on a few things with nurses in the hospital-- laboring comforts, water and other therapies and should dystocia.

Thanks!!

On christmas eve and day we gave out to the women something for their babies.. so everyone who sent blankies and clothes will be happy to know they were well received!! Some of these women had barely a small short for their new one and having a very clean and nice El Rope (clothes) for the baby was great!!
I tried to spend time with each mama after birth to just be there with her. to let her have some kindness and loving words about her and her baby. Even knowing just a few phrases helped communication a great deal.
