7/8 - Siddhi Hospital (Day 2)

Second and last day in Siddhi Hospital.

Whenever there is a possibility(s) that certain health complications will be present in the child and/or the mother during the childbirth process, it is up to the discretion of the obstetrician to perform a Caesarean section (AKA a C-section). This is commonly due to breech or transverse positions of the baby in the womb.

This was the first childbirth I have witnessed in person. And, cheesy as it sounds, this post cannot even begin to describe how incredible it is to see. I spent close to an hour admiring the newborn with Kim, Daschel, and the nurses. It was an amazing way to finish our first shadowing experience. 

Our first group photo!

We decided to use the evening to learn navigation around Pune without the assistance of Dada. Kumar Pacific Mall was not unlike a lot of the malls back in the United States: attached is a one-stop supermarket for general needs, the top floor has a large food court, and name brand stores are abundant. The girls each purchased a sari (traditional female garb).

Kumar Pacific Mall.
New clinic tomorrow!!!
