Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks , You inspired me a lot, all the hard work you have done at Uni and Kennedy and charge land, early on when I was not on the listserv, and I was asking loads of questions i said 'i dont want to overload you' your reply was 'impossible' So maybe i got the learning bug from you!! WELL THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE LOVELY COMMENTS....ONLY ONE PROBLEM NOW YOUR GOING TO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THREE YEARS OF GIVING BIRTH AND ALL MY WOMEN PROBLEMS, NOT JUST CHARGE......CAN YOU IMAGINE THE LISTSERV.....DONT WORRY GUYS I'LL PUT IN THE HEADER ''MIDWIFERY QUESTION'' SO I DONT BUG EVERYONE.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Swot of the year, (Lesley) Soooo proud of you!!!! How do you achieve all that with a full and overflowing plate?? Congratulations on your studentship and on your place on the course. If I have to suffer the indignity of childbirth, I am sure I could not ask for a better midwife, and you are more likely to inject a sense of reality instead of all that it will all be plain sailing rubbish. By the way, you are such an inspiration to me. I have been thinking that really after 15 years as a social worker it is time I did my practice teaching training but putting it off as I thought I would be taking on too much what with all that is , Elly starting school, cochlear implants, sign classes etc etc, but now? Roll on September. The Unis are desperate for student placements and I think I could maybe be an OK placement for some poor unsuspecting student. BRING IT ON! I have spoken to our training bunch already. Thank you student midwife/ superstudent Chan. Raising a glass of white to you...... Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 RAISING A GLASS OF RED BACK, CHEERS fLO, AND YES GO FOR IT, WE ARE ALL PUSHED TO THE LIMITS ON MANY A DAY IN CHARGE LAND, YOU KNOW WHAT FLO I THINK IT ACTUALLY MAKES US SO MUCH STRONGER THAN NORM PARENTS!! ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IN MY INTERVIEW WAS HOW WOULD I COPE WITH A STILLBIRTH OR MATERNAL DEATH....VERY SAD, I ANSWERED IT FROM THE HEART, I SAID I WOULD BE STRONG FOR THE PARENTS TO THE BEST OF MY TRAINING ABILITIES, BUT AFTERWARDS ON REFLECTION WITH WORK MATES I WOULD NEED TO CRY AND LET IT ALL OUT BEFORE I COULD MOVE ONTO THE NEXT SHIFT.....SHE SAID ABSOLUTELY WE ARE AFTER ALL ONLY HUMAN. I AM SO EXCITED FOR SEPTEMBER, BUT I NEED AMELIE TO GET WELL IN ORDER TO GIVE IT 100% I HOPE THE COMING MONTHS ARE KIND TO HER AND ME!!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Oh Lesley, that is the most fabulous news! and how you pulled it off with Amelie so sick is beyond any of us - perhaps it is what has kept you sane!!!!!!!! I am so proud of you. And on the how to handle a Stillborn - I recall when my first baby was stillborn when my OB came in to see me afterwards, I could tell by his manor that he grieved too. then a friend came in to see me after he had been in and told me she had seen him standing in the hall leaning up against the wall getting himself together to come into see me. I cannot tell you how much this meant to me - It has been 19 1/2 years and I can still remember it as if it were yesterday at moments like this. Just writing this the tears have come back - not of my pain, but of my appreciation - just the fact that he allowed himself to show that he cared! he certainly wasn't a basket case expecting me to comfort him, but he was not a cold heartless robot either.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The adaptation went well, i think, they said the loft conversion is a good idea, and know a lift shaft engineer is on his way out to confirm at a later date if required there is room for one on the exterior of the gable end, in the meantime they are waiting for the letters from Amelies doctors about her future prognosis, i think because of christmas!!. my appeal is going before the panel this month and my social worker is coming here next friday no doubt with update. good luck with your adaptation, at least you know your stuff ie the rules!! lol Les > > > > fAB fLO > > > > I just love your posts, i live them like i am in the same room as > > you, putting the world to rights...good girl, heres to students but > > as for all that running are you having a laugh, i can just about > > make it to the car...but feel free to send me a sponser sheet! > > > > lol les > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Lesley, It is wonderful how the human spirit does not stay in that space of absolute raw, and horrific grief. It doesn't help to tell a grieving person that, because it discounts what they are feeling right them. is part of my life and always will be. His death is a large part of who I am today! At this point, I treasure the 9 months of a healthy, happy, beautiful, perfect pregnancy - the only time I was allowed to have with him and I am thankful for the people who cared with me. There are still times it hits me hard, but they are short lived and still nothing like the 9 months after he died. This second example, also pertains to your role in being a caregiver. I worked in a children's hospital at the time. I went back to work after 2 weeks, because I couldn't stand to be at home and do nothing. Most people acted as if I had never been pregnant. One Dr. I worked closely with was sitting at the desk when I came in. His leg was shaking so hard under the table, but then he looked directly at me, and told me how sorry he was. I still see this man every now and then, and everytime it moves me to tears that he was brave enough to face my grief. On the other hand, there was another doctor I worked closely with - a doctor mind you - she came in to see me while I was still postpartum. Her first question was to ask if I was going to sue. I just looked at her and told her that the doctor had done nothing wrong, that I had done nothing wrong, it was just how it happened. (vasa previa) It bothered me that she was so quick to want to attach blame. But now I can look back and wonder, how when the anger phase hit, if the OB doc had acted evasive, ignored my emotion, and so on if a person without the medical background would want to attach blame. I read recently that most often in a lawsuit is what the person really wants most is an acknowledgement of the loss and if necessary an apology, for being less than perfect like all humans are. Hospitals instruct docs not to apologize, because it implies guilt, but they are now finding that genuine apologies can often prevent lawsuits. I have to say it would do much to assuage the anger I still feel towards the doctors who took care of Tyler after his bike accident last year. I am so proud of you for all you have done keeping up with your studies, all your girlies, and Amelie being so sick. All of your experiences will enhance your ability to be human with your clients, because you know what it feels like. Kim I am happy your stillbirth holds good memories of a very sad situation rather than bad ones, hope this has come out right and not upset you, do you get what I am saying?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I have a huge amount of trust and respect for my OB. Every time he had to tell me (or found out as I did, as the result of a consult or test he had to order) that something was wrong with my pregnancy, he was very compassionate and human. When I came to see him for my 6 week post-partum check, he took time to look through Evan's photo album and tell both my husband and I he knew this wasn't what we expected or would have wanted, but he was very impressed with how we both handled the unexpected (and he didn't end up delivering Evan--because he was too early, I had to be transferred to another hospital). Bedside manner isn't everything--if it came down to a choice, I would rather have an arrogant jerk save my life vs. a doctor who was nice about letting me die a preventable death--but isn't it nice when both come in the same package?
