The life and times of an IT Trainer are not always as rosey as we would like to imagine. Sitting in a Doctors surgery waiting to deliver training to a Midwife is not the best part of my job.
Having to listen to the ins and outs of a maternal process is not a conversation i relish. I can here faint reminders creeping under the surgery door of my days as a novice father sitting in that room on antinatal day. The questions that are asked are not for the male ears.
To think i was expected to sit in on the consultation with mother present, no way. Vaginal discharge, nipple soreness, sex during pregnancy; you get the drift. Just the word leakage now has a diferent meaning, bring forth pictures of pads and conjealed blood.
Swelling breast no longer bring images of Katie Price or Kerry Katona, instead i see pain, tiredness and materal frocks.
All I came to do is show them how to use an piece of clinical software not share the experiences of a new expectant mother.
What a job.
