Sharing my fabulous news as nobody I know is awake at 04:30!

[UpUpUpU]

I am a third year student midwife in my last week of placement. To qualify I need to deliver 40 babies. With 3 shifts left I started this night shift needing 3 deliveries. I’ve only gone and got a hat trick and delivered my 40th baby!

I am absolutely over the moon and need to shout about it to anyone who will listen until a more civilised hour!

What a fabulous and privileged job I have ❤️

Congratulations 🎉😀

Aww many congratulations OP. Best wishes in your fabulous career x

Amazing! Congratulations 🎊

Congratulations! I'm sure it is a rare night that all new arrivals are so punctual.

Oh well done you! That's brilliant!

Congratulations OP.

Congratulations on your 40th baby, and on entering such an important career.

Congratulations to you 🎉👶🏼👶🏾👶🏻

Amazing-huge congratulations 🤗

Well done 💐 - what an important and rewarding career you have in front of you. I still remember the midwives who delivered my children even though it was 25 and 30 years ago.

Congratulations! What a huge achievement, and good luck in your future career.

Thank you everyone. It feels surreal! I’m just on my break and then I have to have the obligatory photo with the ‘40 selfie frame’!

Congratulations, well done!

Great news! Well done. Lots of us not asleep on mumsnet.

Brilliant news. Well done and what a lovely job and you sound so pleased. I’m sure you’ll make so many birth stories even better. No-one forgets their baby’s midwives x

Awesome! Keep up the miracle making

Amazing!

Well done. I think the system has just given birth to a very happy midwife! Wishing you many more very happy deliveries.

Amazing, you deserve to feel elated! There is no more important job in the world than this!

Did you explain this to any of the mums? I think I would've pushed harder for you if I thought you might fail your course! 😆

The last one I did (once I was sure she was going to deliver as didn’t want to put pressure on her!) she and her partner were equally elated for me! I won’t sleep today as I am buzzing!

Wooo hoo that's great well done and congratulations

Congratulations x

Good work, OP! Think of all the joy you have brought to so many people with so many precious babies.

I'm a nurse too, tho at the other end of life. Whatever we can do for people at these significant times of life is so awesome. Waving to you from Melbourne, Australia.

Congratulations!

I remember when I qualified (something different) and found out just gone midnight. No one was around apart from a retired police officer couple who were neighbours and were often up at silly o'clock due to being used to shifts! I took a bottle of champagne over to their house at 1 in the morning! That was 1991! You'll remember this forever!

Amazing! Well done!!!
