I also delivered a fake doll about 5 times, but it was really good for learning  x

It seems brutal doesnt it? I remember thinking is all that force neccessary ?? then I realised it just looks worse than it is cos we arent used to seeing it, plus all the pulling means less clean cuts which take longer to heal. The day I 'took my first baby' in theatre was scary, at that point Id delivered 20+ babies and witnessed many more that had gone to section/instrumental etc but when it was my turn to step up and take the baby I was So0o0o0o0o nervous!
