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.
Can only presume there may be a flurry of births tonight/tomorrow??
