Again, perhaps it’s me, but why would a midwife be doing a heart bypass?
And yes I accept a c-section is a major operation but new mums remain under midwife care and then health visitor; they have a safety net. A heart bypass is a slightly more serious op.
Rach at least do like for like comparisons love
That was my experience; I’ve had both. Second (planned) was a dream, first (emergency) was traumatic af. She would put the fear of god into pregnant women. She’s talking like a samurai cut her in half or something. Yes, it’s major abdominal surgery and people have different experiences, but they are also very common. Women have them everyday all around the world.
And also I'm pretty sure they dont do heart bypass surgery in a maternity unit or am u missing something? Lol
This!! A midwife mentioned a heart bypass surgery?! Wtf?! I dont use her hospital but I'm not far from her, and our midwife unit is separate to the hospital, yet on the same grounds. They wouldn't know anything about surgery in the main hospital.Again, perhaps it’s me, but why would a midwife be doing a heart bypass?

I expect the surgeon who carried out the heart bypass told the midwife to let Queen Rachel know that the surgery was inferior to her c-section. He would have visited in person but he was too busy sobbing uncontrollably at the thought of this poor woman being sent home to fend for herself having been horrifically sliced in two.
She just assumed all theatre staff present in c-sections are midwives. Operating Department Practitioners are also present and they work in all areas were surgery is carried out, most people outside the NHS/hospitals don’t know they exist and just make the assumption they are nurses. Highly trained and very skilled but not nurses.
Also, can’t believe that Tattle is now providing her with ideas for content, it’s so obvious that she reads here.

Ah yeah hadnt thought of it like that. I had a lovely male doctor for mine, then last minute some women who went by 'Mrs' not doctor, did it. She didn't even speak to me lol, she was clearly high ranking and she did a good job
She was most likely a consultant-most consultants go by Mr/Mrs and generally don’t use Dr.Ah yeah hadnt thought of it like that.

ODPs I mentioned before only work in operating theatres and ICU. They are specially trained in anaesthetics, surgery and recovery so can only work in specific areas.
Midwives are always present during deliveries however babies are born but an operating theatre contains a real mix of staff. Consultants/Drs perform the c-sections but other staff are there too.
Male for my first women for my 2nd csection. Both consultants and not midwifes
I asked them to take the sheet down so I could watch and she said no
hahaha. I was so out of it, I just remember them doing something after he was born and they said 'it will feel like I'm washing the dishes'. Spot on, it was literally like that.Yup, that’s what they tell all the ladies- I’ve never had one so couldn’t compare but all ladies agreed that’s what it felt like and was a great way to describe the feeling.I asked them to take the sheet down so I could watch and she said no
A rummaging feeling strangest feeling in the world. Half my tummy is still numb
Iv also had both emergency/elective. They told me it was like someone rummaging around in a handbagI asked them to take the sheet down so I could watch and she said no
it felt exactly like that, most weird and surreal feeling in the world!That is exactly what it’s like. Very surreal. I was asleep the first time around, so didn’t get to experience it fully until my second baby.
When they said 'it's like washing the dishes in your stomach' I apparently responded with 'there are some dirty dishes in there'Iv also had both emergency/elective. They told me it was like someone rummaging around in a handbag
I'd had so much gas an air I was off my face.When they said 'it's like washing the dishes in your stomach' I apparently responded with 'there are some dirty dishes in there'
Omg, the wonders of gas and air!!
I mean, my sister in law is a midwife, prior to doing her conversion to midwifery she was a theatre nurse, so yes, a midwife MAY have previous experience in another nursing field (but many go directly into midwifery). However, while working on the maternity unit, she wouldn't know jack tit about what was going on elsewhere in the hospital at any particular time. Brenda Bullshitter again.
