Happy International Day of the Midwife from these two who are a lot less cute these days! I don’t do much ‘proper’ midwifing anymore but I will always be proud to be a midwife and in awe of the wonderful women I support and work with. #IDM2023 #NHS

Set off for my extra long night shift feeling pretty nervous. 13hrs and 2 beautiful births later, I’m on a midwifery high. Women are brilliant. instagram.com/p/CkVMMY3L10_/…

Happy Homebirth Day! Some of my best days (& nights!) as a midwife were helping women have their babies at home. And it was pretty great when it was my turn too 😁 #homebirth #midwifery #maternity

Being a midwife has never been an easy job, recently it’s been harder than ever. Fortunately, midwifery is full of strong & brilliant women - Happy International Day of the Midwife to you all #IDW2022 #InternationalDayoftheMidwife

And here was me thinking it was just early menopause…
It's true. I am out of control. Destroyed six civilisations this morning, it's not even 10am yet and I'm still on my first cup of coffee. Malfunctioning all over the shop.

This is a phenomenal achievement in the light of all the challenges we’ve faced - and still we push on because we know how much it matters that we do even better
Shame we won’t see this splashed across the news headlines 👶🏽Whilst there is always more maternity services can do to improve 💙 a moment to pause & reflect at what has been achieved #SaferMaternity @MatNeoSIP @tonykellyuk @TeamCMidO @matthewcjolly @ShaunLintern

So important to ensure clarity in communication, especially for vulnerable women:

I hated the new Jimmy Carr set - so much casual misogyny and punching down. It was like listening to Jim Davidson. Being controversial in a desperate attempt to stay famous. Nah, comedy’s moved on.

I knew I loved both @sindhuvfunny and @nomadicrevery but listening to this week’s @moonunderpod was one of my favourite ever podcast experiences. I married a Guinness guy.
