Labor Ward!

Monday was a very interesting day, like every single day was in Ghana!

But yesterday was particularly more interesting. For the first time in my life, I watched the miracle of birth in the labor ward. Rhiannon and Abi warned me that my stomach will churn really badly before we went into the delivery room.

While I left the room to get my glasses, within 30 seconds, the delivery took place! Oh noooooo! Rhi and Abi told me I missed everything within that short span of time!

Usually birth takes more than 30 seconds, but this one was more like a pop, and there was the baby!

Either way, the labor itself was very explicit and gruesome. But the baby was beautiful! Of course, i didn't really get a chance to take pictures but a day well spent, helping out in the maternity and labor wards. The three of us went to the surgery rooms to watch a surgery only to find out that we had to come back Tuesday because there were no surgeries yesterday.

I went to the bank after to withdraw some money, and we went to Melcom to buy some pineapple juice!
