Joy!!!!!!

 This is the woman who needed the surgical repair. She is happy with her baby!
 Interesting story. While she was pregnant there was a question regarding the paternity. Her male partner had said that if she had cheated on her, he put a curse on her that she would be pregnant for 15 months. Then when she was about 40 weeks (10 month aprox.) they went to him and asked to stop the curse. So he said if the baby was his she would go into labor that very day. He then took water in his mouth and sprayed it over her abdomen and then to the other side. She went into labor that night, so needless to say he was very happy that this was his baby.
 Post partum.
 Nurse Patricia on left rolling cotton balls. She is a very interesting person. She was with the Colomboni Nuns in Italy where she went to nursing school in Milan. She speaks Italian! So we were chatting in Italian. The Volunteer Justine is on the right, making Sanitary Napkin pads. Very innovative.
Mom in labor who we later took to the "Theater" (Operating Room) for C-section. Standing is the TBA (traditional birthing attendant) She received money for every mother she convinces to come to the hospital to deliver. This is the Delivery Room.
Also interesting story. As this women was in labor, pushing, her male partner doubted his paternity so they felt she was pushing for a long time as a punishment. Because her 5 previous deliveries had no problem. So he also took a mouthful of water and sprayed it over her private area and said if the baby was his it would deliver before night. Well we did the C-Section in the afternoon. So he also was happy the baby was his. The water spraying from the father's mouth works almost as well as DNA testing. .
