    I thought I would start this thread as an add-on to the embarrassing midwifery moments one, it is to share stories you have been told on placement or funny stuff you have seen... not neccessarily stuff you have done! I have been told some really funny stories on placement here is one I thought I would share:

    Man on phone to d/s: "my wife is in labour"

    Midwide @ d/s: asks: "Is she due?"

    Man on phone: "No love she is Muslim like me"

    I nearly wet myself when I hear that one!

    Woman on phone to d/s saying she is coming in, midwife very proud she could spell the name writes "Siobhan" on the admissions board....

    .... woman arrives with pink velour tracksuit, and masses of gold chains etc on aka Vicki Pollard type with boyfriend... name on notes spelled....

    "Chavone" .... midwife nearly cracked up... Chav one... pronounced "siobhan".

    Hope you like and have loads more to share (keeping confidentiality of course)

    My brother in law phones labour ward to enquire about his sister who is in labour:
    Hiya love how is she doing?
    midwife:
    she's coping well and baby should be born within the next couple of hours
    Brother in law:
    so would you say she is about half way there?
    Midwife:
    eerrrrm well yes I suppose you could say that!
    Brother in law:
    Oh great so she's over the worst of it then!!!!!!!!!

    Woman phones up Delivery Unit to enquire as to whether she will be ok as she has just eaten a pizza, along with the polystyrene underneath that accompanies it in the packaging...

    I was volunteering on Friday afternoon. Chatting away, answering the buzzer at the door "Maternity, can I help you?"

    We then got talking about me working in a Landrover Garage and the funny things that happen in there. I managed to pick up the buzzer and said

    "landranger services, can I help you"
    Silence on the other end of the buzzer.
    Me "Can I help you"
    Silence
    Me "who have you come to See"

    (midwife giggling)

    Visitor "I didn't know you serviced them here as well, can I book my wife in"
