hi im a student midwife who has just had my 6 year old diagnosed with pdd-nos. we are having heaps of trouble with school and other issues. Any suggestions ??????

hey i never ment to rain on anyones parade. to be honest there is a part of me that misses getting that excited. its hard to find people who understand as there are few forums for student midwives which is why i love to read the threads here. they se...

Iv's sterile feilds, preps, calling for the doc at a nvd. hee hee i am sorry but we midwives do 70% probably more of the delieveries by ourselves with a back up midwife. AND I WASN"T TRAINED AS A NURSE!!! I respect what you guys do and a first catch ...

Please excuse my ignorance, but I am a second year Midwifery student and i have had eleven catches. catching is the easy part, it is the care either side of the catch that is the difficult part!!. Last week I had a g4 p3 who had been fit and well unt...

my most interesting birth so far was a fotling breech at 36 weeks, was off to ot for a lscs when she started pushing.....

gee that sounds like a great woman to care for. these programmes are so unrealistic and i think the guys who make these shows have alot to answer for. they paint an almost unobtainable picture to the general public who take anything on tv as gosple a...

wow!!! thats amazing!!! jess....

ok im am bookmarking that one ......thank you

i am in my second year of a midwifery degree, and i have done about 8 ve's as we call then over here. i was scared with my first, then they became really interesting. you either like them or not, one tutor said it was like putting your fingers in tri...

i am training to be a midwife in New Zealand and our model of practice is quite different to what you guys have, in fact it is unique to New Zealand. It is based around a treaty that was singed with the Maori people about 160 years ago. We aim to wor...

i agree with the others on this one.....the more ves the greater the chance of infection . i had one of my women get to a certain point and then just stop. i just want to know as a student why not do something else rather than a c section....i mean 9...

Oh Mama........ how terrifying for you.....my best wishes to you from this side of the world.....if there is anything we can do let us know.....not that im in your hemisphere or anything.......lol......but my prayers and thoughts are with you and you...

my heart goes out to you....he looks sooo much like my son who is nearly the same age now....who has had health problems but not as bad as your wee guy. our children enspire us to be more than we could imagine. they birth in us dreams we never knew w...

we need to educate women about their bodies more. the pelvic floor gets stretched carrying around a pregnant uterus anyway. sheesh are people stupid enough to really believe that a c section is any less painful than a vaginal delievery????:angryfire:...

if the craving gets too much, try changing brands, one with a different scent. it is fairly common,but i would not drink it. your a sensible person and know that im sure. good luck with the rest of your journey

i had my brother and his significant male other in the room when i had my first. the nurse looked at my brother and asked if he was the dad. nup he said, the other just said i dont do thst .....was funny at the time.....oh and a bit off the subject, ...

oh and im not using any aides like patches or gum. and i dont feel any great loss. strange, must have just been my time too quit.:w00t:

i have been struggling to quit smoking for about ten years. Seriously. Tried everything in the book. Nothing was working for me. I havent had one for three days. i did go nine days before that, had a relapse and back onthe wagon. you know the one thi...

poop has never worried me, hell, i have had four babies. poop is nothing, warm, stale urine on the other hand....eeeewwwwww. cath bags that are being emptied....barf

i was doing clinical and saw the sweetest thing. this lol had hardly any english and was critical. her family were afraid to visit, so the staff kind of adopted her. one nurse in particular. when ever this nurse walked into the room, the lol would sa...

About time is all i can say. Gee, you would think that birth was a crisis if you walked into most l&d at the moment. the way the obs talk, the way the women treat their obs like gods and hero's who saved their babies and pelvic floors........:tro...

i just laugh when they say they dont want to get all stretched. What, the weight of the baby and uterus does most of the stretching anyway, blah, noobs. I just dont get it. If they want an elective, make them watch a video of one first, then make the...

i was walking down the hall of post natal one day when i heard some very loud moaning. it got to the point of being so loud that other staff were concerned. so went into the room, and this guy was graoning and moaning everytime his baby even moved. s...

hahahahahahahahha...............lol.......bbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This is one of the reasons why i have decided to become a midwife. its never just a thing they have lost, its the hopes and dreams, its a baby. and too often, they are treated as just .....gee i dont even want to put it into words. When i was eightee...
