update from Uganda. Safe arrival of baby girl


Remember Molly in the top photo with me? She is one of the women who agreed to receive care payed for by the donations from the staff at Queens Hospital Burton Maternity Unit.
Well Molly had her baby, a girl, on 17th October 2014. Molly's baby was safely delivered in Maama Maria's Clinic Uganda weighing 3.6kg. Apars 10/10.  

Molly has continued to seek care from the clinic postnatally and her baby girl is growing now weighing 5.5kg. the midwives at the clinic have been able to support Molly giving her nutritional advice and supporting her breast feeding.

Mary at Maama Maria's clinic has sent thanks to you all at Queens for the interest in the clinic and she is very pleased to tell me that they have been chosen to support a student midwife through a mentorship program started with help from the twinning project. Mary thanks us for empowering her clinic to be part of this. Mary also wanted us to know that the midwives in the clinic continue to encourage women to deliver their baby's in any position they choose, using the floor, a stool, a bucket and the birthing ball as well as the bed.
