Delivery Room Learning Feedback Diary

January 08 2020, the first day of our duty. Just like the other duty, I was so nervous because
it was our first day. I was also anxious and worried because even though we already had a return
demonstration, I am worried that I might get blank when I am the one who will catch the baby.
The thought that I might get only the head and separate it on the body of the fetus got me really
scared.

When Ma’am Jelai asked who wants to go to the delivery room, no one volunteer because
we think that we will catch the baby already. But when she said that we will just observe the
delivery, I volunteer myself so that I will have idea on what is happening during the actual delivery.
During the first day, not all of us able to have handle, I was praying to have handle so that my
nervousness will lessen, but only few of us was able to handle delivery. On that day, we observed
many deliveries and helped the staffs to monitor the blood pressure of the patients and helped to
monitor the fetal heart rate. I also observed the instruments and familiarize myself on how they
are being use so that I already know how to use it when I am the one who will handle the delivery.
On the second day of duty, I am still nervous but unlike on the first day, I can control my feelings.
I was also able to handle delivery. I thought that I will be mentally block when I was going to
handle the delivery but it goes out well, I didn’t panic and relaxed myself so that I can do the
procedure well. I was so happy when I didn’t panic and it was so overwhelming after handling a
delivery. All of the nervousness removed in me and all of the worry that I might kill the baby had
gone. During our third day, this day was the most unforgettable duty for me in the delivery room
because I almost pass out while assisting a mother during her episiorrhaphy. It was my first time
to experience it. As the mother hold my hand because of the pain, I was so happy because I feel
like I am helping someone to support them even though she’s pinching my hand too hard and even
though it was so hot during that time. As I am assisting her, I was looking on the procedure as she
requested so that she will know when the procedure will be done, but as I was looking at the
procedure, I am breathing hard and catching my breath, I suddenly also felt dizzy and feel like I
was about to pass out so I sit on the chair so that I will not fall if I pass out, but thanks to God that
I will still able to survive and mange to open my eyes. On the fourth day, I had again my handled
delivery, again, I was so happy to have the opportunity. Aside from taking blood pressure and
FHT, we were also helped transferring patient in the ward.

To sum up the experienced, it was unforgettable. I had realized and experienced many
things such as, it is not a joke to be pregnant and deliver a baby, it is so hard when experiencing
labor. The highlight of my duty was the realization about being a mother especially for those who
are giving birth at a really young age. I can’t imagine how they can take care of their baby on their
young age. I am grateful that my parents raise me well and never lack on giving me advices and
attention so that I will not be place on the wrong path.
