How Births Happen in South Sudan
Statistics state that women in South Sudan has a one of seven chance of dying in childbirth. it is reported that there is a high maternal mortality rate of two thousand and fifty four maternal deaths per one hundred thousand live births.
The reporter went on further to say that a major problem for women and girls is the common practice in South Sudan of early marriage, with girls as young as 13 marrying much older men, often becoming a second or third wife. There is currently no law to protect young girls from this practice or no minimum age to marry in the nation. These early marriages result in pregnancies before girls are physically mature, putting them at risk for obstructed labor and other complications.
After reading about the women of south Sudan,and the age at which they are married and become pregnant I sighed. I felt really sorry for these girls who do not even get to be regular teenagers before they are forced into an uncertain adulthood. When my daughter told me she was pregnant I cried because I did not think, in my motherly mind, that her body was ready. Even though she is married, I still see her as my baby girl. 
Now as I reflect on the experience over those three days of labor at my daughter's side, I can see her as a mature adult. I think of those little girls at 13 years old and pregnant, and remember my daughter at 13, I see an innocent child. I see her growing body just barely reaching puberty. One can well understand that in  every aspect of development, they are far from being women but mere children. It is no wonder the death rate is so very high, something needs to change.
