Nicaragua Crisis Update June 4th, 2018.

Good on the rest. You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.

Breach deliveries at home are fairly common among the midwives I know. Being out of position is not necessarily a big problem. One of the best things you can remember is that babies are actually best delivered from a hands-and-knees position or kneeling, especially breach babies. I've had babies both ways and upright on knees gave the best chance at a smooth delivery (mine tend to get a little stuck on the way down). I talked with my midwife about this for a few months with my last birth because Daniel stayed breach pretty late. As long as you don't have a transverse (sideways) presentation, you can still do this.

Thanks! I had a long chat with mama this morning. She is willing to try natural at home. She is terrified of the hospital and I think w kind find a midwife close by. Labour has stopped this morning! Baby is still moving an heart rate is fine.

From what you're describing, almost anything will be safer for Little Mama than a C-section in these conditions. Short of placenta accretia, previa or transverse lie, she's better off. No gunshots, serious infections, critter-infested rooms or other hazards at home!

If you can find a midwife, you guys will really be cooking with gas.

We think we have found one. She will have to come across the back way here, on horseback, but if she can make it, it will be a Godsend!

Hallelujah! I'm praying hard for you guys.
