I’m mum to an ex-30 weeker and the midwives got me through it. I bet you are just amazing for the parents and babies. I just accepted my offer to start midwifery next year! Love your videos - they helped me confirm that this is definitely what I want to be doing.
Im a NICU nurse!!!! It's so so amazing and lovely and I wouldn't go anywhere else!!! I LOVE BATHING BABIES AND HAVING CUDDLES!!! Their little faces on their first bath.. nawwwww. I guess when working with healthy mums and babies, you probably wouldn't do as much with the baby as we do, as the mums are not with the babies all the time - we have lots of midwifery students come into our unit to work with us!
@@amyheath7798 Hey so basically the NICU looks after a very specific group of patients. Either premature newborns, or full term newborns that have failed to make the transition to extrauterine life for one reason or another (infection, congenital problem, lung fluid problem). For premature newborns, the responsibility of the NICU team is to provide everything that the womb and placenta did (oxygen, nutrition, warmth) through respiratory supports, IV or tube feeding and incubators, so that the baby can use all its energy to grow, and continue as it would in the womb. Our care is done under strict, precise and controlled guidelines. For term babies, and premature babies that are coming up to the date they were supposed to be born, they can be treated like babies. We help mums breast feed, we bottle feed, we try and create day and night, we cuddle them etc. It's a really beautiful place to work :)
My youngest daughter Lola was born at 35weeks and as hard as it was learning how to deal with a prem baby after having two normal full term babes, my experience was lovely because of the nursery midwifes they were all amazing and so supportive.
This was really insightful thank you for sharing! I start my second year mid September and my first placement is in my trusts special care baby unit so this has provided me with a little bit of insight into what it may be like
Thank for sharing. Doing my upgrading to apply for midwife program next year if I like my vollenteer time at a midwife clinic I'll be trying to get placement at this fall 😊
Hey! Thank you so much for sharing these videos they're so helpful. I am currently working towards going into midwifery. I wanted to know if you would make a video on an estimate on how much midwives get paid in comparison to how much you get paid! I would greatly appreciate that. Again, thank you and have a Blessed day.
I have an interview for a grad position in a special care nursery tomorrow! I’m so excited but nervous. The unit I applied is very similar to the one me you are describing. Do you have any tips ? Your video has been helpful. 😊
Basically, midwives are more focused on the mother and baby and take in low-risk pregnancies. OBGYNs are medical and handle pregnancies that are high risk. I'm interested in becoming a CNM so I don't know much about OBGYN, but I've been told they read pregnancy like a "disease" (I suppose just the way they go about caring for their patients?) rather than the nursing/holistic/natural care midwives practice.
I love how enthusiastic you are about your passion! I hope to be as good as a midwife as you are in the future 💖

Emma Hi I'm 15 and thinking about what I want to do with my life and I was wondering what working in the NICU would include .

I've read that midwives prescribe birth control too. Is that true? If it is, is it unusual?
What is the difference between Obstetrics and Gynecology Doctor and midwife??
Basically, midwives are more focused on the mother and baby and take in low-risk pregnancies. OBGYNs are medical and handle pregnancies that are high risk.

Thank-you so much for helping out! What a brilliant answer 🙂
