It's no wonder, then, why we are so short of nurses and midwives.

The midwives attending me when I had my son were young and clearly very inexperienced. He was fortunate to survive. They really didn’t know what to do when I was in obstructed labour. Fortunately a doctor realised that an emergency c section was needed. That was in a brand new maternity unit in 1985.

If anyone wants to hear more on this issue there was a piece on woman’s hour this morning.

I know one distressed and upset midwife who will not be surprised by this at all!

Nazir Afzel has published a report into the above mentioned.
It doesn’t make for easy reading 😡
I feel so angry because I’ve been lucky enough to have wonderful midwives in my life for many many years.
