Chapter 12
In Chapter 12, the Brende’s take time to visit with a few of their neighbors. They realize who they like and also who they don’t like. They also find out exactly what connects all of them together and that is work and religion. Then they visit with Edna the midwife and talk about the new baby Brende. I would be really scared to have a baby at home. There are a lot of cases of women dying while going through childbirth. Also, where did these midwives get their education from? If I were Mary I would be asking all sorts of questions about what they would do if something were to go terribly wrong.

Wihout any sophisticated equipment there is probably not much the midwife can do if something goes terribly wrong. They probably know a lot of old fashioned remedies, but in complicated cases all they can do is pray and hope for the best.
Nice. I did not think about where the midwives get their education. I suppose they don't have any training at all. Maybe it is just on the job training, haha.
