Recollections of birth and death, joy and tragedy that reveal the
reality of maternity care in a remote setting. In 2016, English
midwife Indie joined the staff at Attat Hospital in south-western
Ethiopia, where Atsede led the midwifery services. It was a meeting
that would change their lives. Their close professional
relationship, and deep personal friendship, led to them opening a
birth centre serving the Gurage women and families of Cheha Woreda,
bringing compassionate midwifery care into the heart of traditional
communities. Through the two midwives' eyes, as they recount
stories from the women they have cared for over the years, we
experience the lives of the Gurage people in rich detail. From one
night shift which saw Atsede attend 16 births, and 17 babies born,
to the day there was a donkey mysteriously tied up inside the
hospital. By way of undiagnosed birth defects, the ramifications of
female circumcision, obstetric emergencies, and long hours of
ordinary, extraordinary births, what shines through is a deep and
abiding love for the women in their care, and respect for each
other and the colleagues they work alongside. A must-read for
anyone with an interest in birth or maternal health, With Two
Souls, the translation of the Chehaguraginya word hwetarwa, meaning
pregnant, is a fascinating and moving insight into what birth can
tell us about people and places, and how, when our eyes and hearts
are open, we can embrace our differences and work together to
benefit our communities.
