Placenta

Last night I had my first clinical shift (just 3 hours) and was able to examine a placenta. Holding something that I have been reading about and studying for such a long time not to mention something that creates life felt pretty emotional. My moment was interrupted by another student jumping in and I felt a bit shaken. Later at home when I told Jessica I started to cry over my "interrupted" moment and then started to laugh realizing I really must be an MLL Midwife if I get so excited over a placenta and tired and emotional enough that it evokes tears!
