Teen Pregnancy in Uganda

Peace examines her baby for the first time after delivering it. Initially the doctor put the baby on the foot of the bed, leaving the room, and later returning briefly to deliver the afterbirth, and to sew her where she had torn during the delivery. Peace has a private room shared with one other woman recovering from surgery. Besides from a brief visit from the matron of the shelter, she was mostly alone for the two nights she was in the hospital.
