Today I was tagged by mum2babyinsomniac and her latest post made me stop, think and appreciate our NHS. A number of bloggers recently attended the Save the Children blogging event and from that @HelloItsGemma and Mummy From The Heart have set a challenge to us bloggers to have 100 posts of 100 words, linked to Mummy From The Heart by Tuesday, about a great health professional we have encountered in our lives.
Here's my contribution:
My first baby was breech so a caesarean was needed. My second child was a VBAC. I needed gas and air, pethedine, an epidural and finally the aid of ventouse to see me through my "failure to progress" labour. The support of my fanatastic midwife, Chrissie Hamade, enabled me to get through it without the need for a second caesarean. If I was in Africa I hate to think what may have happened to my breech baby girl and whether my baby boy would ever have got out alive. I give my thanks and appreciation to the NHS and staff.
Now, spare 30 seconds of your time to sign the petition
