    Subscribed. Been following your sister ‘Sheeba’Totally going to follow. Am ugandan born and grew up in Tanzania then moved to UK. Then Netherlands and currently living in Hungary..
    You are tottally going to fight hard against ‘objectification’…good job you are thinking ahead. Uganda in my experience and a complete East African and Diasporan is most ‘objectifying of all 4 countries..
    Am of Rwandan Roots, born in Uganda and grew up in Kenya and Tanzania before moving to UK aged 21..39 yrs ago. Tanzania is my favourite if all 4

      @@DrJessicaKatanga oooh you replied. This city called Pécs is a university city so it has a perfect vibe. We love it 6 months in. This time last year were comparing it to other possible choices including East Africa but this one won. It has enough modernity and layed-backness..
      Lots of international students which means the locals see it positive and will assume one is training to be a doctor, nurse or engineer. Unlike people asking me over the years when visiting a scandinavian land if i like my asylum centre🤣
      We cycle here and love checking out the other cities.
      Netherlands was home for 22 yrs but hubby is from Leiden which too is a university city twin once with Oxford. Over 400+ years old. Yes there is nothing to dislike when visiting NL and its one of our homes. Our two kids are still there and were instrumental in helping us choose our home/ their old folks home. One is in UK whose the one that linked me to Margie/Sheeba.
      I follow her for a bit and think the world of her teaching and intelligence. I saw your dad contributed to computers for africa!! Hongera you all for living as best your life as you can.
      So we absolutely love our new chosen retirement home and are trying the lingo.
      Hubby is experiencing being an emigrant with me and am showing him the ropes as best as i can being a serial migrator🤗🤣🤣am of rwanda roots though born in uganda and speak mother tongue still and all the bantu lingos of central and western Uganda so understand Kihaya perfectly too.
      Keep away from mozzie bites. Malaria is a joy snatcher illness. Having left in 1985, my last bout was 1983!
      Whenever am back i smear with citronella and hide in nets. You can smell me a mile and long sleeves trousers at dusk..
      Let me not make it a podcast🤣🤣🤣

    So amazing… so needed for the moms in Uganda.wish you only the best in your new journey. I’m a midwife ,trained in the UK but working in the US,born and bred in Uganda. My dream is to set up a clinic in Uganda…some day.❤

      oh wow, you're a midwife! such an amazing and important job, I bet you make all the new mums feel so at ease. In your opinion is midwifery better in UK or US? That is an amazing goal - I'm confident you will open that clinic some day x

      @@DrJessicaKatanga @ Olivekintu talking about differences in maternal care I had both my first sons in KingsCollege Cumberwell and my last child a daughter in Netherlands. Tottaly laid back that i felt kinda insecure.. but in the end i appreciated the balance they had in minimal intervention and mother own involvement.
      First child emergency caesar in UK, second episiotomy and last totally no gas en air no nothing. Baby came in one push. Needless to say then the placenta had not detached and had to be assisted by an injection. Then told the doctor is discharging you in morning. I gave birth at 03:07 came in at 01:30 and left at 08:00 in morning but one gets a homehelp/nurse for 7 days in our insurance included. This i found the best. They lok after you and home and even the other kids. Cook clean iron and just be an angel

      @@DrJessicaKatanga ,yes! I’m a midwife and I love what I do. I think midwifery is different in the US. Out here ,in some hospitals,midwives practice like doctors. They come in to deliver the baby and not necessarily labor with the women. For that part,we have registered nurses ,who learn how to take care of birthing women ,in about 6 months.At my hospital though,midwives labor with the moms and deliver them ,too. We also have RNs but the midwives do a lot,too.In the UK,all moms are cared for by midwives and I think it makes a huge difference.
