As for the Reg who so co operative make sure he/she is acknowledged for this and you never know they just might do it again and pass it on to their colleagues. Often we need to remember that we can ask them to do things for us and keep them busy so they dont feel the need to interfere just to have something to do.

<x-tad-bigger>I am a student midwife… I wrote a few weeks ago about the first baby I caught… a Ceasarean! But finally yesterday I had the big moment… caught my first baby from a real birth. Wow! That was some buzz. Only a week tiny 34 weeker and came out so quick! I did literally catch it.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>One of the odd things, was that I caught the baby, and the Obstetric registrar, who was also present, drew up the syntometrine and put up the bag of synto. (MUM had had a previous PPH and did bleed quite a bit) Seemed like a reversal of roles. I have been reading about interprofessional cooperation… nice to see it at work. </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> It was a pretty amazing day in Birth suite really. Almost as exciting was the vaginal breech I saw delivered earlier in the day. That was a bit of a surprise really, the mother presented in advanced labour, going along very quickly, 3</x-tad-bigger>

<x-tad-bigger> baby. The midwife called for help as she had mec liq… and as I rang the NICU reg she realised that she had a bottom presenting. Too late for a Caesar, and quite rapidly delivered a lovely little girl. I suppose I wont see too many of them, since they routinely deliver breech babies here by caesarean.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> I have had a great week… lots of vaginal births, lots of great experience. I am so relieved after my week of caesareans last month, I was beginning to wonder if I really wanted to be a midwife. Now I can remember why I wanted to do this!</x-tad-bigger>
