There's not much news on this side. Spent the morning at postpartum visits - still have yet to actually HOLD a baby! There was a birth last night, but she didn't want a student, so I got to sleep all night (and it was a good sleep). Here's a couple things I learned today: the midwives don't do the PKU blood test for the baby, they have a specialist who comes to the house to do it. Also, if there are any other "medical" needs (we had a mother who was feeling a little dizzy and tired 4 days after delivery) there is another house doctor who comes to take a blood test to check her iron levels. Normally we would just send the person out to the lab for that.
We're going to finish the day with 2 more visits this afternoon, then I have to figure out my weekend plans. Probably I will be staying on call for any births I'm invited to, but maybe not go to the baby visits. Not sure.
That's it for now. Hopefully I'll need to update soon with some birth news!
