@dieworkwear I am really enjoying your threads and I wondered if I could ask your advice. What are your feelings on couples matching at weddings (as guests) - is it nice if his tie is the same colours as my dress or is it horribly naff?

[Kate Cranness / Yardley @katechunk]

@MairGPDavies Right, got it. We need more wolves.

@sarajcox I gave my daughter a card to post & a £10 note to get a couple of things from the corner shop. She went to the postbox first, then to the shop - got to the till & realised she didn’t have the £10 note. She was so upset when she got home but at least she’d made a postie happy!

@bykatewomersley I look at that photo and think - I hope she feels warm enough (she’s quite uncovered) and she doesn’t look like she has anyone caring for her (the clinicians rightly focussed on the procedure) - I hope the person taking the photo is a loved one who is with her.

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

@RoshanaMN I think sometimes sharing is hard because you then have to deal with other people’s reactions &feelings as well as your own which, in the middle of grief &loss can be another burden. Your sharing is helpful to many &I hope has also been helpful for you. I’m so sorry for your loss

Very proud to have worked on this plan, and very glad to see it published just in time for our big family adventure ✈️

@KitzingerCelia My mother also credits your mother for helping her understand how best to birth her babies - her stories of positive births inspired me and I am now a midwife. And I was born in Taunton too 😊 She was a remarkable woman.

@MairGPDavies @TraceyKay19 It’s SO Cornwall. But also, you’re not lucky - you have good judgement 😉

[Kate Cranness / Yardley @katechunk]

It’s always about marketing 🙄

@GKMcCabe @IvoGraham It’s next to the eggs

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. https://t.co/nJ6sZPBShl
