The wife and I took a car out to Klaten, rather than riding a scooter like the previous trip, and while it was a little more expensive, it was certainly a wise decision from a comfort perspective.
We met Ibu Yesse, who seems to be pretty much exactly the kind of midwife we want. She was perhaps a little reserved with us, but maybe she doesn't work with many bule. And she has had to fight to keep doing what she does, with much resistance from people here who are still unable to consider that a hospital birth isn't the best option for some people.
Anyway, Rencana (plan) A, home birth. Rencana B, got to the clinic in Klaten if Ibu can't be at the home birth for any reason. Rencana C - Rumah Sakit (Hospital), if there is a need to seek medical help.
A big relief for Kai and I.
One man's musings on simultaneously becoming a stay-at-home dad and relocating to a new country. May include examples of creative efforts in writing,music and photography, though more likely just irregular updates on life in Jogjakarta, and the challenges and triumphs of learning how to be the primary carer in a country where you can't speak the language. All images, unless otherwise stated, were photographed by me.
