 Topic: Present for midwife
Posted: 26 July 2006 at 4:57pm |
|
Did anyone buy a present for thier midwifes when they finished with her and if so what did you get her? We arent particularly close but she has done a good job and Im really happy with her. She isnt the bunch of flowers type either, any ideas?

I thought about it, but didn't ! Wish I had, might make her a card from all of "us" though.

I got on really well with my midwife too - I have just sent her an invite to Joey's first bday actually  . We gave her some lovely pralines, red wine and a card with a photo of the three of us. I guess pretty boring but she was thrilled anyway

Hrmmmm... I didn't end up getting my midwife anything... but she got me a present when I moved. Geez I'm a bad client. I still go visit (or she visits) when I go home so will arrange something when I'm back next

Well I think Chocolates will be the go with my MW, when I was bleeding at 16 weeks and went into hospital my step mum bought me in some chocolates and I'd stay up late at night since I hate hospitals and the damn alarms kept me up and just eat chocolates. 
Then I had the same poor old MW come in checking up on me... poor old darl, she must be in her 50's by now and she had worked 24 hours the day before and got called in 3 hours after she went home because they were short of staff so she had to come do another 24 hours.
I really REALLY liked her, whenever she came in I had a whole heap of caramello and other sorts of chocolates piled on the table for her. and she loved it.
I'm a boring old chocolate eater, I just like te normal chocolate, not dark, not white... and I dont like anything with it, like fruit and nuts or caramel or other flavours... im just a plain cadbury chocolate girl... boring aye.

i was wondering if its 'appropriate' to give a gift to the midwife, but seems it is - which is great, becasue my m/w is FANTASTIC, and I can't imagine not getting her something to thank her! I think I'll give her a photo of bub's and something else... it's going to be SAD not seeing my m/w again.... til #2 of course ;)
