Notable Midwifery tales:
Beautifully sunny day today and the sheep looked very content. Only one ewe actually lambed though! No doubt the rest are waiting until the bad weather. (Which is actually a “thing”! Something to do with the drop in air pressure if I recall correctly.)
Pleased to report that the lamb with the swollen face yesterday is now looking like it has completely recovered from its squeezy entry into this world.
