Mama to Mama: Crafting the World a Better Place
When all the plans for the natural, midwife-attended birth of my second child went way south on a weekend car trip, ten hours from home and six weeks early, I was fortunate to be living in a part of the world in which a hospital with a state-of-the-art NICU facility was just an hour further down the highway–with my midwife’s help by cell phone I was able to contact it minutes after my water broke, and was snugly checked in and being introduced to my baby’s neonatologist before my first contraction had begun.
In many parts of our world, my fragile baby would have been born and then would have died for lack of necessary medical care; in one part of the world, you and I as crafters can help these babies live.
