Loving photo memories of all kinds....  

I’m contacted regularly by student midwives and midwives who feel sad, burnt out, tired and weary - and at the end of their tether. I also hear from others who feel pulled into negative cultures just so that they can fit in. About bullying behaviour, not feeling able to stand up for themselves or able to advocate for women. It’s hard. It’s more than hard at times, it’s unbearable 😢 • During difficult times I’ve always sought out the right support, to talk about how things are. Even this action isn’t easy - finding the best person to share concerns with can be tricky🧐 • As well as this, keep the reason why you wanted to be a midwife close to your heart. Remember how much you worked to be in the best job ever. With this in mind, stick up for your colleagues, and advocate for the women and families in your care. Touch base with your ability to love, to nurture and to care ❤️ • If it’s too much and you need to walk away, then that’s important too. Loving and looking after yourself is crucial 🥰 to your wellbeing 🤱🏽❤️🤗 #midwives #midwifery #midwifelife #studentmidwife #midwiferystudent

I am bit speechless about this - so you may not believe it. I know how much work goes into making cakes, particularly specialist or themed cakes as my mum was a confectioner, my sister a pastry chef, and my daughter @oliviajanejohnstone is a quite a cake crafter. I also know @loulousmeringues and follow her journey 💥 So when I saw that this student midwife @midwifeonthemove 🤱🏽has other formidable talents, that she could actually make me into a biscuit - I was lost for words. Really. The cake was entered into the @midwives_rcm bake off - it’s a winner in my eyes! @gillbyrom @thejameson80 @milli.hill @aimee_pickles @pamoneuk @jenclarke1577 @ireson0212 😮 🍰 ———————————- Posted @withrepost • @_cressida._ *full cake post on @cressida_cooks .

Taken in the 1980s before we had our 4th one - @oliviajanejohnstone 🤗 When I look closely I can remember the moments, but some memories are faded. We have loads of video footage that needs converting into files - of these fun days, I need to find someone to do it for me! I’d like to hear their voices again... Now these children have children older than they are here... I’m all nostalgic! #family #specialtimes #memories #photography #children
