Life plods on as normal

Hey frannie!

Well life here in Cardiff goes on as normal - you've missed out on the spectacular return of Hilda (probably best!). So bad even Hilda had to escape to Banbury to the little cottage in the country to return back to normal Hannah state!

Elisa and I had fun this weekend - we went on a walk through the fields and forest behind her house in the beautiful sunshine. Only problem was, it had been raining rather heavily all week so the land was actually mostly flooded and very very muddy!! So we spent most of the walk shimmying along the fences to avoid the water-logged paths! Part of the walk was alongside the M40, so you can imagine the looks we had from the cars as they zoomed past seeing two crazy girls clinging to the fences! After climbing over the metal gate, we had to build a bridge across the swollen river with branches etc to walk across, only to discover the field was also flooded (and alas no fence to walk on) so we ended up wading through the field in water up to our knees!! All fun! who said accountants and medics were grown-ups?

I believe that back at the Heathfield house, the ladies were visited by a friend of lou's and also Mr Mcall came to town...i'll leave someone else to write about their weekend together.

Love you lots frannie, have you been put off having babies yet?

Where is everyone?

As the last post on here was mine from last week I presume that a small tornado has ripped through Cardiff, destroying everything in it's path......This could be true as I haven't seen any news all week, and have only just woken up after 13 hours sleep (went to bed at 4 this morning after delivering a baby and have just woken up after 5 this eve)

I have nothing to report as I have only seen my consultant once all week, apparantly he normally phones to check if the students have been on the labour ward but he hasn't in my case so either he trusts me to turn up or he doesn't care at all.

This week I have been the Jonah of the labour ward, many of the ladies I have been with have ended up with a ventouse delivery or emergency c-section, although towards the end of the week I had several who went to the toilet at 6-7 cm and came back out ready to push. The most farcical one was a turkish lady who spoke no english and whose husband had to come in by bus to help consent his wife for her c-section (placental abruption) the consent took longer than the procedure.

Happy days
