International Midwives Day (IDM) is celebrated on 5 May each year, and this year's theme is" "Centennial Achievements." In this special and meaningful festival, let us approach the ordinary and special midwives together.
As the saying goes, "When a woman gives birth to a child, she is walking away from the ghost door." The seemingly ripe and natural process of childbirth actually contains many abnormal dangers, and unpredictable "sudden" conditions occur from time to time. But at this first stop to welcome a new life, there is a group of angels who carefully guard the lives of mothers and babies, and they are midwives. It can be said that midwives and every pregnant woman are friends of life and death, in the difficult process of maternal transformation from a woman to a mother, the midwife is a warrior who has always been firmly guarding their side, carrying a lamp that illuminates the journey of new life, driving away the fear in the process of childbirth, and using his hands to convey happiness to each family.
On the morning of the same day, the gynecological department of Taihe County People's Hospital held a "careful protection, help delivery" activity in the outpatient clinic, sending holiday blessings and small gifts to pregnant women in the outpatient obstetric examination, explaining the delivery process, painless delivery knowledge, postpartum childcare methods, guiding maternal pregnancy activities, and carrying out "pregnancy dance", pregnant women and their families gained a lot.
At the same time, Wang Xiaoyong, vice president of Taihe County People's Hospital, brought festive condolences and care to the midwives, and sent flowers and cakes to celebrate this special day with the midwives.
In the delivery room, Liu Ping, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, taught everyone to learn the new perineal suture technique and guided everyone to practice perineal suture operations.
I hope that more and more people in society will care for women, pay attention to women's reproductive health, and pay attention to the cultural inheritance of maternal and infant childbirth, and at the same time, I hope that more people will understand the profession of midwives, pay attention to the hard work and efforts behind them, and give them more understanding and support.
