Delivery Room, Babies & Just wow

Aaah. Such a tiring day!
We had our duty at Quirino's delivery room from 6am-6pm, although we were really sent home at around 5:30pm. There were a lot of mothers who gave birth today and man, they are such a blessing to us!

I was able to experience cutting the cord of a newborn child, was able to see forcep delivery, and THAT just made my nerves jump so high. I can't help but be nervous even for the forcep delivered baby, even though I am not the one in charge.

I tell you what it was intense in that room. What more, when all the responsibility is yours? The maximum number of delivery is up to 24 mothers a day. I can somehow imagine it because the crowd I saw today, it's something. There werearound 8-9 beds and two post-partum mothers share 1 bed -- about 3 of them are in the hallway 'cuz there's no more space O_o

Just...wow
Nurses, Ob-gyne, Pedia people just move and move and move. Wow -- talking about mind your own business. Or perhaps more of a TEAMWORK - "I trust you do that!" kind of thing

We still got our 12 hours duty for tomorrow.

I think experience is truly the best teacher.
