Ever since I have been pregnant my mom has told me about this "Giving Life" campaign where they have asked woman to write on their belly bumps to bring awareness to the the thousands of woman that die during childbirth in Ethiopia.I thought that the most fitting time would be right before I am about to Give life to my baby girl!
"Ethiopia’s 2009 demographic and health survey showed that 25,000 women died every year giving birth, while 300,000 babies died annually across the country. In terms of personnel, the country had only one midwife and three doctors for every 100,000 citizens. Only 6 percent of births occurred in a health facility attended by skilled health personnel, a report by the UN Population Fund stated. As a result, many women deliver under the care of traditional birth attendants – which can be risky. "
It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world.
