Midwife Mondays is a series of over 150 posts, written weekly over my three years training as a midwife, documenting the highs, lows, assessments and catches of my time as a Student Midwife.
So week 146 was a fairly complicated and very bitty one. At the time it was like it absolutely flew by, and also like it was one of the longest weeks ever! I started the week with a drive…
