Translation (Rita Seng Mai) I would like to tell you about how babies were born. I will tell you about how humans were born. There were a couple. The husband was a hunter. The wife was pregnant. One day, the husband went hunting in the deep forest. He saw a mouse give birth somewhere in the forest. He was really curious and watched it giving birth to the first baby mouse. The mother mouse used all of her strength to give birth. When the first one was out, she licked all the waste off it and cleaned it. And she gave birth to the second baby. She used the same method to clean the baby. After that, she gave birth to the third baby mouse. And she cleaned it too. There were three baby mice. The hunter witnessed everything and thought, "Even a small animal could give birth to three babies. We, as humans, can also give birth to many babies. That evening, he told his wife, "When you are pregnant, I am so depressed and worried about you. However, we don't need to worry now. Even a small animal like a mouse can give birth to three babies. Let's try to give birth like a mouse." When the wife was about to give birth, she just gave birth vaginally to her baby. Today, many pregnant women give birth vaginally. So we don't need to feel scared to give birth. We don't need to go to the hospital to give birth. And it costs a fortune. I want to encourage women to give birth at home.
