We have the privilege of organising our own elective placement at the start of our third year. We have chosen to go to Nepal to gain an insight into how midwifery care is practised and accessed.

woah an emotional day.................................

hello england, so our second shift on the birthing unit at the hospital started off the q word yes it was quiet, no patients, then after an hour or so labouring women arrived. Laura was famous again we her nose piercing, they love it as traditional over here to get the left side of your nose pierced. We observed some distressed women today who we just wanted to speak to, reassure and encourage very hard tho when nepalise isnt out first language, we can just about say hello and my name is.......anyway we encourage in our own sign lanuage and ram roo = very good. One very tired patient finally delivered and had a lovely bonny boy who needed suction and a little oxygen but then he was fine. Kiran meet us after our shift and introduced us to the director of the Perinatal Society of Nepal, discussing the study day we may be guest speakers in. After lunch we bumped into our man that we booked our excursions for the last week with, a big thankyou and mention to him, Sam Pun at Above and Beyond Trekking who helped us greatly and give us lots of good advice for hopefully an excellent last week of our trip. Me and Laura are now very exhausted and its 5.15pm here so will do a spot of shopping and head home for an early night ready for work 2mor, all our love to you England, take care love Laura and Sam x
