Just got our timetable for 3rd year.. How the hell did we get here?!

Lucky me! 3 weeks to go ♥️

Loved our first day! Everyone was so welcoming. Looking forward to being part of the team 🌟

Just managed to get up for a day shift without waking the dog. Feel like a bomb disposal expert.

Graduation was 3 weeks ago today! And I've been working as a midwife for 7 weeks. Time absolutely flies.

Jesus wept. #exitpoll

Lucky to have worked my first 7 months qualified at Liverpool Women's University Hospital. Very challenging, I've learnt loads and met some beautiful people 💕 onto a new adventure (more) up north!

Thank you ProjectWingman for treating us today at @QEGateshead.. The Pregnancy Assessment Unit midwives had a lovely break 💖

Crying again at #lifeandbirth on BBC. The different perspective of watching a birth compared with being the midwife always throws me. 😅

Our Horizon Continuity of Carer team celebrates its first birthday this month! 🎂 We send our warm wishes to all the families the team have supported over the last year and thank them for allowing them to be part of their journey into parenthood. 💙

We didn't let social distancing regulations stop our celebrations today.

Just in case you missed the fantastic Continuity of Carer Facebook Live with our lovely CEO, Joanne Parkington and our Head of Midwifery, Maureen Collins yesterday... You can find the replay here! #121Midwives #ContinuityOfCarer #FacebookLive facebook.com/OnetoOneMidwiv…

Finally in the editing stage of essay 2/3 (or 4 if you include a 2000 word reflection) of 2nd year.. thankful for a bank CSW shift tomorrow as I've been living on £90 for the last month. The reality of annual leave as a #studentmidwife 😁 but I wouldn't change a thing.

Find it hard to give good breastfeeding support as a student as there is always so much running around to do and time is short.. but finding that bank CSW shifts when well staffed are giving me so much longer to spend with women (also the pay is a bonus... 😁)

Finally visited our new Wirral Midwives birth centre in Seacombe today.. massive bright birthing room with loads of options for active birth, a little kitchen facility and a garden to potter in (or deliver in 😂) and a lovely team of midwives 👍🏻
