Embarrassing, yet hilarious midwifery moments!

Thank god she told you- youd have got quite a shock if youd went to test it and it was bright orange!!!

What was lucozade doing in a urine pot?!

there should be a "i too have catherterised a clitoris" club lololololol

i have only been on labour ward for a week so far and not really had any cringey moments apart from leaving the plug from the bp machine in the wall as im trying to move it i was proper saying why isnt this moving until the plug came flying out the wall lol luckily the women and her partner didnt really seem to notice but i was embarassed to say the least

More catheter mishaps since I last posted!!
Doing one yesterday, and I couldn't find the urethra again. I couldn't even see it when my mentor told me where it was (she could see it) so I squirted instillagel in the general direction and it did indeed wink at me


Also, helping the anaesthetist prep for an epidural... dropped the saline water packet in the sterile field.. I was mortified!!

Currently on my break on a night shift on the postnatal ward. Had a mishap tonight with a BP machine... Was pretty dark in the bay as it was around 1am and all the lights off. Jug of water has been put on the bedside table as a new lady was due to be brought up. The BP machine was charging plugged in at the wall in the bit where new lady was going to be. I needed the machine for someone else so moved it without realising and the plug came out, knocking over the jug of water all over the bed and floor and table. Oh my god I was horrified. And it made such a noise that it woke all the babies up. Oops.

At least the woman wasn't already in the bed Strawberry!!

small mercies, eh!!!

haha!! cant wait to add some of my own (there WILL be plenty for sure!)

Haha god yeah redpiggy, baby and mum would've had a nice shower!!!
