When I was 14 and pregnant and met my teenage pregnancy midwife I absolutely knew midwifery was the path for me, 14 years on I have done it! Had my last shift last night as a student midwife, delivered a total of 48 healthy babes over 3yrs and had the time of my life doing so!
Maternity emergency skills training day for QEH staff - fabulous use of the Melissa bus for tabletop and sim teaching 👏✨ @madeinmelissa #getonboard #melissabus
Shoulder Dystocia and breech table-top teaching with the Practice Development faculty @beccyeggleston1 @Gateshead_NHS
Lovely day teaching NQMs 1-1 Clinical skills sessions as part of their Preceptorship and introduction into the trust ✨👏🏻
Another full circle story! As a student in 2017 I cared for Emma postnatally and delivered her beautiful second son at the most ✨amazing✨ home birth in 2020 and now she is a fabulous student midwife working alongside me! 🥰✨@NorthumbriaUni @QEMedEducation
5/61 😱🥳 I love our team 💕

Poor Sim Mom got sepsis, had a PPH, a breech home birth AND a shoulder dystocia in one day! Bless her 🥲😬✨ Fabulous day teaching and learning with @promptmaternity today ❤️✨#skillsdrills
Great to see the Maternity department delivering, pardon the pun, the PROMPT course here @QEMedEducation
Happy International Day of the Midwife ✨
I wouldn’t be here enjoying my career so much if it wasn’t for my teen pregnancy midwife who inspired me to be a midwife when I was 14 having my baby - I am so proud to have found out I am now a member of the practice development team ❤️

I’ve seen too many ridiculous comments about my pregnancy whilst filming @CallTheMidwife1 ( also thank you for the lovely comments!) Women get pregnant, our bodies change. But we have the right to work if we choose to do so. How about just supporting it, and don’t question it?
Stephanie Dawson retweeted
I never congratulate a woman when they find out they are pregnant. I just don’t know anything about the circumstances.
I always say ‘thank you for telling me, how are you feeling about it?’
That way, at least I don’t assume or put pressure on them to be happy about it.
You have NO idea how much this means to James or how this will change the boys they are going to SCREAM! You have made their Christmas/NY 🎄Thank you - what a good egg 🥚😇💞
