HELPING IN VIVEKANAND HOSPITAL TO PREGNANT WOMEN

For the service work in the hospital, I was placed in the maternity ward, where pregnant or women with new born babies were taken care of. This was the first time that I was meeting all these women under such conditions, so it was very essential to first talk to them.

I circulated among them and talked to almost every patient in Marathi although my command over the language was poor. Still I felt that by I was talking in Marathi, I could bond with them much more as they started seeing me as their friend or well-wisher. I liked the way they responded to me .I helped one woman in having cough syrup and water. Basically I started looking after the baby and let the woman sleep very well.

I also learned lot many things like how woman feel after pregnancy and how their relatives respond, what is their mental status after delivering the baby. I learned how people who do not belong to very rich family cope up during such occasions and how to behave with them in order to make them feel good.
