How are blessed are we to have medical intervention so easily available in this country! In this age of obstetricians, c-sections, epidurals, and foetal monitors we can forget that labour is still a risky process if you're an animal, or a person in a developing country. I had an emergency c-section and if I lived long ago, Rory and I may both well have died.
Personally I think too many women in Australia approach labour wanting a perfect birthing experience. We tend to get shocked and disappointed when things don't go to plan. Despite the advances in medical care, birth is still risky. We live in a fallen world where producing children is hard.
I feel so sad for that poor ewe and her lamb....but I am thankful.

I am so thankful that we do have such great healthcare here in Australia.
I was reminded how good we have it when I met a couple with six month old triplets in Rwanda. If it wasn't for Compassion being there I think that mum and the three girls wouldn't have survived. Makes me so sad to think of the millions around the world who don't have access to even the most basic healthcare.
Oh, those poor lambs! Yes, we sure can be thankful to have a standard like this. My SIL´s eyes are at risk, still she wants a "normal birth", knowing her eyes can be fixed afterwards if really something happens.
