This little guy was born at the Saltadère mobile clinic. Mom showed up in labor and began pushing before the midwives had gotten their gloves on or unpacked their suitcases of supplies. Thankfully someone caught him, but mom began to hemorrhage. A 2 1/2 hour drive from the hospital, Saltadère is one of our most remote mobile clinic sites. The community priest, Père Ilrick, saved the day by offering his personal vehicle as an ambulance so the midwives could split up. One went with mom, baby, and family to the hospital, and three stayed behind to provide prenatal care for the 100+ women who had come that day. It really does take a village, but everyone is up to the task. ❤️ . . . #haiti #maternity #midwifery #baby #babiesofinstagram #moms #midwives #midwivesmakeadifference #midwivesmatter #shematters #midwives4haiti #midwives4all (at Saltadère, Centre, Haiti)
