Set off for my extra long night shift feeling pretty nervous. 13hrs and 2 beautiful births later, I’m on a midwifery high.

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
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.
Happy International Women’s Day - especially to all those strong and brilliant midwives helping women be strong and brilliant in motherhood #IWD2022#InternationalWomensDay2022
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

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.
Calling all staff involved in obstetric emergencies in theatre. Please share your views on the management and training of impacted fetal head at caesarean birth with @MidwivesRCM and @RCObsGyn. It’s a short and quick survey: ths.im/3IgQBye
Loved loved loved seeing @sindhuvfunny in Exeter last night - she really put into perspective my issues with people misspelling my name…. but BTW, it’s Katharyn.
