Hello England,
So after eventually falling asleep after the cockroach adventure, we walk to work for the last time and worked on the labour ward. Which consisted of three rooms of three patients in each, we quickly observed a delivery, the woman amazingly in her pain squatted on the bed to gain the help of gravity to deliver her baby which helped straight away. But sadly the baby had the cord around its neck and was whisked away to the resuscitaire for resus, the team straight away gave the baby oxygen and started compressions. The paed was quickly on the scene and inhubated the baby and the baby was taken to SCBU.
Another lady was admitted and everyone was very excited to hear she had twins on board, she was progressing well but nearing to the end of our shift it was decided to go to theatre to deliver her twins.
Meanwhile another patient was admitted from A & E in the second stage, on examination the nurse-midwife found thick meconium stained liquor, so they encouraged the mother to push well. Quickly after she delivered after bonny little pre-term boy, again straight to the resus and after suctioning the meconium he gave the alomost biggest cry from this tiny baby.
In one of the delivery rooms the sweetest image of the three mothers asleep and all the babies lined up in their cots asleep, so so cute!
So that sums up our last shift at the hospital which we have throughly enjoyed and leanrt lots and mostly importanlty gained an invaluable experience.
Tomorrow were goign with Kiran to the teaching hospital..................
take care england love Laura and Sam x
