I really like Arya! Never heard of it before and certainly never met anyone named it, In both Plymouth and Sunderland/Newcastle that is so I wouldn't honestly count it as being common. I cant say ive heard it mentioned on here either and there's a massive variety of names used here. Apparently Logan is pretty common, it does seem to be used a lot on here too but ive never come across anyone both little or grown up with it before.
Ante natal class was crap this week. Was 2 different people leading it as its my normal midwifes day off. Had a midwife and her student, I bet you cant guess which one of the two was the most informative and knowledgable....
The midwife let the student lead the group today, and the student was brilliant. Very well informed and a really good public speaker, had an answer to all of the questions asked too. The midwife would interject every now and again with things, and a couple of times, the student had to correct her. One of the people there asked if Diamorphine has any effect on the baby and does it cross the placenta. The midwife said immediately no, it has no effects as it doesnt cross! The student said oh uyou must be thinking of something else, to try and make her look not so silly and went on to say how it does in fact cross the placenta and can make baby very drowsy!
The midwife was clearly very old school too as there is a lady there who wants everything natural. Shes going to a midwife led unit, not our local hospital and doesnt want pain relief. She asked if there would be any pressure on her to take the pain relief as she doesnt really want it and would they respect her wishes on that. The midwife replied with "Well, its your choice when it comes to pain relief and you can do what you like, but your choice to not have anything is the wrong choice"!!!!! The poor student tried to fix it afterwards by saying that it is indeed up to her and the staff will fully support that but the midwife stuck her size 6's further in and said "Can I ask, is this your first baby?" The lady said yes and she got "Well then, your gonna need something, you cant do it without im afraid, especially first timers" barked at her...lovely.
So yeah, it was pretty bad really. The student was absolutely fantastic she really was, but the midwife...I wouldnt be surprised if she gets complaints from that session. Hopefully Helen, my normal midwife is back next week!
I'm glad you've had nothing since and hope it stays that way.
I'm jealous of this garden centre with all the christmas bits! x
