Baby boom

Has someone put castor oil in the water?! Virtually every midwife in the practice has been out attending a birth at some point in the last 24 hours. I’ve been at two labours overnight (handing over care with one before the birth and then being at the birth of the second baby). It is times like these when good teamwork really is essential to try and make sure all the visits get covered and all the women have known midwives and somehow we have made it happen. I’m now looking forward to an uninterrupted night off the pager to recover!
