LMC: Lead Maternity Carer in NZ is a Midwife! They're a free government provided go-to for your pregnancy care.
They write your forms, organize tests, check your pregnancy progress, and of course, deliver your baby!
So it's important to be choosy! I totally understand they're underpaid and it's a super stressful job, but at the same time as a mum, you can't afford to take chances. If you don't feel your midwife is giving you good care, you can always change anytime.
I never became friends with my midwife, and sometimes she got my name wrong! But I think it honestly depends on the mum and the midwife. But remember! If you don't feel right, that's enough.
And Midwives are human too! :) And yes they should definitely get pay rises!
They say it takes a village to raise a kid, but what if you don't have a village? In our current world with digital isolation, and me being a bit of an introvert... I relied on internet stories of parents for support. So I'm now giving back in a humorous form!
I want to talk about the ugly side as well as the good. I hope this comic will validate fellow parents, and also give insight to parenting to people who don't have kids! I hope it makes you laugh, but at the same time makes you feel like you're not alone.
It's set in NZ so some medical information and government information may differ. Also it's in UK English!
This is my personal diary of pregnancy and parenthood, so please be aware that every pregnancy is different and may not be same as mine.
