First Day Back
Permalink Closed

Well Its done!


First of all thank you to all you lovely people for replying to my post, and if you couldn't, hey what the heck, there are some posts I feel I cant reply to.


Well got to the hospital, and was terrified, I was shaking from head to foot. I walked on the delivery suite, and got a nice welcome back from most of my colleagues, from some , the old "are you ok now? ( you little ****)


Soon got into the swing again. Had to go to theatre to scrub for an emergency caesarian (baby was fine!)


Then back onto delivery suite and delivered a lovely big boy at 11 minutes past 7. Was very hard to find the strength to encourage someone to push and to carry on for 2 hours when I had no emotional strength myself.


But I got through it, and do you know one of the main reasons why?


EVERYTIME I STARTED TO STRUGGLE, I THOUGHT OF ALL THE MESSAGES OF GOODWILL, LOVE AND ENCOURAGEMENT FROM YOU SPECIAL PEOPLE. IT WAS WIERD, ALL YOUR NAMES WERE COMING INTO MY HEAD, IT WAS REALLY STRANGE.


So thank you all for your love and support, today was as difficult but had no deliveries.


Back at work tomorrow at 1pm.


Thank you all my friends once again

Hi jem, im glad you posted...i was thinking about you today and wondering how your first day back had gone. As for the nice welcome, it helps with the nerves doesnt it? im glad they (well most of them) welcomed you back. Hey ya know, i have to say...the job you do, i think its amazing. Actually what you wrote reminded me of my time on maternity (as a student) i was then in awe of all the midwives and the work they did, and then one morning my mentor decided to take me with her up to theatre, so off i went, thinking the only thing i would have to concentrate on was not hitting the floor. Then she said ''we are receiving the baby'' and i just homed in on the 'WE' and must have had this look of terror on my face because they all just started to laugh at me trying to splutter out the words ''WE, did you just say WE''. Im not sure why im telling you this, you just reminded me of a good memory and it made me smile (and i still have that awe factor for midwives)


Continuing to send good thoughts and encouragement your way jem, take care of yourself as you settle back in

Well done jem, was thinking about you and wondering how it had gone.  You know i had a similar experience in hairdressers when i thought of everybody here who had supported me, i was even trying to match images of people to their names! A bit weird i know.


take care
