Will the universe give these mothers a break?

Here are the births both Leah and I have witnessed today:
1: undiagnosed twins, hepatitis positive woman, babies weights are 1.6 kg and 900g
2: normal birth
3: eclamptic client (having seizures), unconscious, intrauterine death, vaccum delivery, continues to have seizures hours after birth. She is loosely tide to her bed
4: neonatal resuscitation and post partum hemorrhage
5: vaccum delivery, neonatal resuscitation
6: neonatal resuscitation
7: client came in pushing, deformed baby was born dead

Leah and I feel pretty down right now. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I terribly miss home water births.
