Saturdays. Prenatal days. I luv it. About 10 ladies come every week. Buntis; that is pregnant in tagalog. my favorite word in tagalog. Anyway, the women are there for monthly and bi-weekly checks. i usually try and see the same ladies each week. Sometimes they bring their kids too which makes it even more fun. Alma is 40. She has 2 kids and this is her 5th pregnancy. She is beautiful and so understanding. i did a homevisit at her house and will be going back for a homebirth when she has her baby. She is due March 20. it's funny cause I know her normal blood pressure, i talk to her about pains and aches and she tells me how excited her 11year old daughter is about a new baby. Also she tells me her hubbie brags that she has the biggest and best belly ever. i feel so lucky to hear about her life and watch her baby move and listen to heart tones.
Grace. Grace is 25. She looks like Beyonce and has a 2 year old daughter named Diana. She is shy and quiet. She always tells me she feels fine, so i try extra hard to watch vital signs and encourage her to eat protein. She is due April 12. And she wants to have her baby at the clinic.
So these are just two of the coolest reasons ever to get up happy on saturday. i am pretty excited about being there to share in their labor and birth. Mostly i just want you to know these ladies too. maybe i can get some pics up for you.
