...I'm about to embark on a mission that i have been dying to do from a young age, slightly nervous but needs must.

EEK

[ummmm]

And what would that mission be?

Waxing's not that painful.................

[Kiki-frog]

Yes, spill the beans.

(Or does E.E.K. stand for something?)

I've been trying to track down one of the trainee midwifes that looked after me as a baby as she pretty much saved my life. I have just found my midwife on Facebook and I am about to message her asking if she can help me in anyway to finding this lady, so I can say thank you

[mccfluff]

i think your photo does look like natalie cassidy, i thought it was as well.

[queenofmean]

LOL Craft...I know waxings not painful been through that on a regular basis since I was 11/12

[queenofmean]

Lol I look like my dad mcfluff and even he doesn't look like NC

[Kiki-frog]

Awww, what a lovely thing to do. Hope you find her

[bednobs]

i didn't realise you were pregnant, congratulations!

[queenofmean]

Thank you Kiki, i do aswell it means a lot to me, she apparently was very distressed at the time but I just wanted her to know that she did nothing wrong and I am grateful to be alive

[queenofmean]

Bednobs, I'm notr pregnant - yet, I meant the midwife who looked after me as a baby

[friedgreentomato]

Wow really how interesting but is there not other things that are more important to you?

[Kiki-frog]

Just a thought, QOM, when I was doing family history research I contacted the Royal College of Nursing to find out something about my grandmother who was a nurse during WW1, and they were really helpful. Obviously they won't give out contact details, but the Royal College of Midwives might be willing to forward a letter if you give them the woman's name and where she was working at the time. But hopefully the Facebook contact will work.

This is very important to me FGT, this nurse asked my mum if I had been bathed and mum said no and she offered to help my mum. There was a scab on my head from where the Foetal Monitor had been placed and when I got my bath and my head washed the scab came off and green icky stuff was seeping onto the blanket I was sleeping on, my mum called for help and before she knew what was happening I was in the Neo-Natal unit with Meningitis, where I spent the first 4 weeks of my life.
I don't have the name at the moment Kiki but if I manage to get one then I may try that approach and see if I can trace her.

[friedgreentomato]

I am sure your mother thanked her seems a bit of a strange quest

[queenofmean]

my mum did thank her, but she was beside herself with fear that she had done something wrong. I just want the opportunity to thank her for myself and tell her that had she not knocked that scab of, I wouldn't be with us today. It might not seem like much to most people but it means a lot to myself

[Psybbo]

What a lovely idea QoM, I hope you find her, it's always lovely to get a heart felt thank you x

[queenofmean]

A mission can be whatever you want it to be, I don't do tents and present me with a gun and you'd be toast LOL

[queenofmean]

I hope so too Sibton x
