We will be doing WHAT in Africa!!

Since Africa has many childbirth's each year we had the oppurtunity to learn what to do if we were to deliver a baby, have to recuscitate a baby, or what to do if a mother had a post partum hemorrhage.
Here are some pictures of our exciting day!
Erin bagging a baby... NO BIG DEAL!
So.. Let's just say we experienced child birth first hand... my reaction: we will be doing THIS in Africa. Our instructors reply: " yes, if a woman is labouring by a tree or out in the open and no one else is around... YOU WILL BE DOING THIS"... OMG! so here we go:
CRASH COURSE CHILD BIRTH ...

CHILD BIRTH: at it's finest!

And... Yes, I successfully delivered the baby!! HOORAY!






We are ready for anything! Bring it on!!
Disclaimer: ( we may not know what we are getting into but we are excited for any experience that comes our way! )
