so much for remaining inconspicuous

Hi, i'm esther (and i'd like to remain esther on this site - so no slipping up and calling me another name ) - and 2nd year mid in SA.

and while i probably won't post in thread all that often (simply because if i have something to say, its probably not something i'd want the uni to track down ) - but i'm always happy to have people send me a pm or an email if you have questions or even help with assignments



My advice for everyone would be:
Try to not procrastinate - i am exceptionally good at starting assignments the day before they're due - but i've probably cut 10 years off my life with the stress of it [and its far easier to do without children] - but once you start having followthroughs, they tend to give birth on the worst days possible. just saying

suck up to your teachers. and if you have 'non-mainstream' ideas, don't utter them too loudly or too often, it puts a target on your back

Oh and if you can do 'extra reading' (and by this i mean, keeping up to date with 'current' events in the birthing/midwifery world - this will actually help ime.

Hope this year goes well for everyone.

Thanks for the advice! But now I'm scared ... lol

Is it really like that?! Wow ...

Thanks for the advice! But now I'm scared ... lol

Is it really like that?! Wow ...

its not THAT bad - but i'm a homebirthing (or in my own case, probably freebirthing),extended breastfeeder, ec-er etc. apparently all the things that are currently 'fashionable'. and quite ok/proud of that. (obviously a little too proud sometimes )

And i have been taken aside and reminded that it might be good to tone down a bit. it could just be that i'm more extreme
Certainly don't worry about piping up with your opinion. But the more you do it, the more notice you get
