So the good news is I almost got to see a birth, but then i went off shift and I missed it. To be honest I wasn't all that bothered because the midwife that I was with was less than helpful, I could tell that she really didn't want me to be there and that I was clearly in her way. She wasn't English so it was difficult to understand what was going on and I could tell that the women labouring couldn't really understand what was going on either, this obviously made it more stressful and upsetting. I felt sorry for the lady labouring and definitely thought she deserved more information than she was given. It was difficult as a student to be there as I couldn't really answer any of the questions and had no idea how to reassure her and help, I felt useless and in the way. To be honest I'm glad it wasn't my first birth because I had no idea what was going on and the midwife was less than helpful. :( So I came back to the flat in the worst mood of my life. Then to top off the evening I came back to the flat to find the kitchen in a state. I knew jack had caused it so I was ready for an argument. I got one.
So anyway nothing really exciting to tell anyone, I am getting better at giving out information now and I can palpate which is nice. I'm soo tired now though :)
