From the Logbook...Premature Baby

A common type of emergency flight that is made worldwide in the MAF world is for complicated pregnancies. They seem to occur with women at all stages of pregnancy, from the first weeks to the last few days. Unfortunately a common age of these women seems to be between the ages of 13-18 years old. To me, the problems they are having are obvious...they are way to young to be giving birth. Their bodies are not ready. But, that is one of the reasons we are here. To help those that live in unfortunate circumstances.

The girl above is 16 years old and in her 32nd week of pregnancy. We brought her out because she was in labor and couldn't deliver the baby. The baby is two months premature, and she still had trouble. We pray that we see her again in a few days to take her back with her baby. I'll keep you updated if we see her again.
