Auntie’s point of view writing

IMG_20160503_145849If you are ever giving birth and you are in a bad place, this is what to do. First you call out for help. A good tip for that is to wale. It brings more attention to you. If that doesn’t work try to push really hard, like really hard. Yell if it helps. And if that does not work then give up. It is probably already dead so just give up because you have tried everything. After someone comes they will help you and get the baby out. It is probably dead, but if it is not dead then you are lucky! Birth is a hard thing and I might not show it but I do care when my baby dies.

    Hello Auntie. I just wanted to let you know that when I have my children with Murad, I will do exactly what you have said to do. This was very helpful. Besides, having children has really been worrying me. It was all I could think about at the beautiful wedding you put together for me. I especially loved the food!

    I will miss you when we aren’t living together any more,
    Phulan.

    Oh Aunti, that is really so very sad. I want you to know that all of us tried and wanted your baby to live. Sometimes in life things can seem bad when actually they are good. Having 3 children would be very hard and your two boys would be so far in age from him.”We burrey the dead body of aunties unborn baby. It felt sad then but know it has passed and soon your husband will come home to Phulans wedding.

    Auntie that is great advice! I am getting married to Murad soon. So I might need to use that advice. Hopefully Murad will be right their with me but he can help me cry for help. “I will miss you when we aren’t living together anymore” you won’t b e their to help deliver the baby. But at least now I know what you would do that they were their.
