Small bump

We have been so blessed lately. There have been quite a few happy new mothers just in time for mothers day. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!



But childbirth isn't easy. According to the WHO, at least one woman dies of childbirth related complications a minute. According to my mother, my delivery was extremely difficult. 30 hours of contractions and serious pain. My cord was wrapped around my neck and I was born around 2am. For the pain of delivery, I am thankful. For the next 20 odd years, I am even more thankful.

But as many as 50% of all pregnancies aren't carried to full term, nearly 20% will end in miscarriage. Ed Sheeran's song, Small Bump touches on some of the issues of miscarriage.
