@Faizathemidwife @sheena_byrom Oh 100%! I also love the “she loves low risk” (said with a droopy face and side head tilt) and I’ve also had “you can’t have that amount of bedside manner with so much paperwork” and “show them who’s in charge otherwise they’ll walk all over you” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

@Jade_NQM You will be amazing! 💕 little tip, every couple of hours, pause, take 3 long, deep breaths and do a mini helicopter review on your current situation. Will give you so much comfort I promise! You’ll feel totally ‘on it’ and you’ll be so wonderful anyways! 💚💚

@anxiouslyactive Hormones, most likely cortisol and adrenal function. Seek a full screen from a functional medicine practitioner if you can but in the mean time start using ashwagandha in an adaptogenic herb supplement. Will DM a brand I use! Works 💯

@AmyAlonsoMW Oh my goodness! He is adorable! Look at those cheeks 🥰🥰🥰🥰 huge congrats he is just amazing xxxxx

@BlueMinds_WG Our language is terrible!! And it’s not ok! I’m so sorry! If the only thing I achieve in my career is to change the use of language then I’ll be over the moon!! 💜💜

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

@BuntyLaiBoyd Yes!!!!! The beauty and wonder of birth, preferably low risk and allowing the birthing person to do their thing with no medicalisation intervention or ‘should be’ time pressures!! Heaven forbid the human body deviates from the text book 🙄🙄🤦🏼‍♀️ #tiredmidwife

@premierinn shockingly poor service from Archway! Need a room for 9 hours in the day, that will allow me to stay near work @WhitHealth for my 2 night shifts rather than attempt 3 tumultuous journeys in the upcoming storm. Completely shut down “nope we can’t help you”. Shocked

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

I don’t know where to start.... and why is @Jeremy_Hunt leading this?!! In what capacity does he have the right to the voice?! What is happening?!!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[Jen RM🤱🏻🤰🏾 @oxytocinmagic]

So I hear @Jeremy_Hunt doesn’t believe in birth as a normal female bio functionality? Thus we should no longer refer to it as normal. I suggest that if you feel strongly about this follow the instructions below & share you views with him by the 9th feb.

Such a great idea @heidi_ed
Honest, open communication! And genuinely checking in on all colleagues 👌🏼

[heidi edmundson @heidi_ed]

We need to start setting aside protected time and space to allow team members to interact together in positive ways. These need to be facilitated to create a balance so that people can express how they feel but not create echo chambers that 'everything is terrible/ hopeless' etc

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

@stpeters2_8 Isn’t he brilliant to deliver all that info so smoothly to camera! Watch out Sir David.....👌🏼👌🏼

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

@Heather_Midwife @WhitHealth How amazing!!!! Couldn’t imagine you not being here! Especially your amazing support during my preceptorship! Happy anniversary 🎉🤩💜💜💜💜

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

Yes!! This! This is my mission this year to tackle the negative culture in Midwifery! Why aren’t we lifting each other everyday? Why don’t we have each other’s backs? For those of us that do, the weight is exhausting!

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

@Jade_NQM I ate 6 ginger nuts, I say ate but more inhaled, with a cuppa at 4pm after a section, and all day had been so smug I hadn’t caved.... it’s just impossible 🤣🤣

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

@AmyAlonsoMW Oh Amy!!! So so gorgeous!! Huge congrats and hope you 3 are all well and being loved and looked after!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

@dr_mattmorgan How you kept your response so dignified is credit to you! How dare they!

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

...... lost for words.....

[Dr Matt Morgan @dr_mattmorgan]

Just when my faith in humanity was being restored, I received this email from a celebrity life style business asking about special medical treatment for their clients . . .

[Katie Courtney @FunnyLittleLady]

@ahmadalrashid99 Absolutely

I wish I was a nurse. They are amazing. How do people do what they do and see what they see and still keep smiling?
Right now "I'm a nurse" has got to be the coolest thing anyone can say
