The week's tally...

Whew! I just finished one of the busiest weeks so far during my visit to Uganda. I spent this week in the obstetrics ward for uncomplicated deliveries at the large hospital in Kampala. It was tiring, but so much fun. I have a lot of good memories from this ward that I will share shortly. I just wanted to give you a summary of my week to start off the entries:

Deliveries observed/assisted on: 13

Guided deliveries (a midwife put her hands on top of mine): 1

Unguided deliveries: 2

Placentas delivered: 4

Newborn babies named after me: 1

Scary experiences: several

Adrenaline rushes: countless
