It's been a long day

Today has been a hellishly long day, words can not explain how tired I am, I have a hole heap of stuff and it just won't go away on it's own.
I think I'm going to start to try and do a bit tonight, i will probably fail and watch Eastenders then go to bed though.
Last week I didn't get change to chat about what I did but to sum it up it was busy, we had six home visits to do, all of which were complicated and needed a lot of time. The first lady we went to see was a lady who had to say in hospital because her child had a suspected Group B strep and the baby needed a lumbar puncture which is where a sample of fluid is taken from inside the lower back in order to determine whether she has Strep B.she also needed to discuss her birth experience and ask a whole list of questions. Safe to say we where in there a good hour.
The next lady we went to see had a suspected pre-eclampsia, she had a sky high BP and ++ protein in her urine, she was rushed up to the hospital and had her baby the same day! Us midwives work quickly :)
The we had a very, very long visit with a mother who was extremely anxious and extremely tired. She had been trying to B/F her baby for a week. She was really struggling, her baby had a tongue tie and this often effects B/F babies as they can't suck properly. The baby had a minor op to try and solve this problem, however, the baby still had issues with feeding as the babies tongue would not come down and therefore he couldn't latch properly which was painful for mummy and frustrating for baby. He had also gotten a bit jaundice and was becoming more and more lethargic. So the midwife advised light therapy and regular feeding. We went to see him to day and sadly the mum had given up and moved to A/F which is a shame but B/F was becoming much to painful and frustrating for the whole family. Mum seemed a lot happier and the baby was much more alert with a small weight gain in three days. It's wasn't a massive amount but enough to keep my mentor happy.
the day doesn't end there though we then had to go and visit some twins which was lovely although they were the smallest babies Ive seen, twin one was a fairly reasonable weight of 4ld where as twin two was only a little 2ld baby, the size difference was quite a shock. When we weighed the twins, twin one had put on the least since birth whereas twin 2 had put on a large amount in a short space of time. Both were very happy and discharged that day. :)
Moving on we had to deliver a bit of bad news to a mother whose baby had contracted MRSA, not much i can really say about this, parents weren't happy which is as to be expected. further tests where offered to both parents in order to determine the source.
Finally we went to see a women who had, had a very normal pregnancy until the baby was born and they discovered that the placenta was abnormal, there is a big long word that is very complicated and i can never remember it. anyways to cut a long story short it was a very long and very busy day!

And thank you grandma for sending me home with so many goodies :) I'm very popular within my flat and I'm really enjoying all the goodies :)
