My Future as a Midwife ♥

In this cold day in Santiago, I will share a little more of my life. This time I will write about my ideal job I would love to exercise in the future. First, has to be a job that makes me happy, that makes me feels good, that I enjoy to do, a job that makes me feel complete.
I would like to work every day of the week except the weekend, anytime. The weekend´s will be time for me, stay in my home and share with my family.
In the place I would like to work is in the Hospital "Luis Tisné", because when I went to have a practice I really liked, and still more that is very close to my house. This public hospital is located in "Peñalolén" and is very beautiful, and the people attending this hospital is very simple.

When I finish my five years of Obstetrics, I plan to do a specialization in the area of newborns: Neonatology. I think that for do this work you need qualities like love to that new lifes that come on the way and be willing to give everything for the well-being of the baby. Obviously, as skills you must have a lot of studies in the area and be psychologically prepared to face any situation that could be problematic.

I think that I would be good at this job, because in this moment I feel that a newborn is one of the most beautiful creature that could exist, full of life to build a new personal history diferent from all other.

My favorite Subject of my Career

Really it is very difficult for me to choose a favorite subject, because all subjects are interesting... My favorite subject in the career is obstetrics physiological.

But the most entertaining is Human's Ontogenic Development. These are the contents in this semester. This involves all development of the embryo and fetus as the formation of extremities, the heart, respiratory system, between others. I like a lot, because is important for my career, for the care of pregnancy and newborn and because is funny to imagine that all of us went through these stages.

Ontogenic Development is taught by many teachers, as Marcela Fuenzalida, Miguel Concha and Mariana Rojas. It is curious that most of them are veterinary.

Learn the processes that occur during each month and day of gestation is very difficult.
But there is also less difficult things such as fertilization and all its stages, which in my opinion is easier. In general, my grades, in my opinion are good. :)

For all this, I have learned a lot this semester because are three units of the subject with a lot of contents. I've learned so much in one semester, that I can't imagine what more interesting things I'll find out from this moment until I end my career.

For me being in this university and studying Obstetrics and Childcare, involves to me a lot of fears that I hope some day to leave them behind.

Obstetrics and Childcare Website

To start, I have to say that I've never made use of related websites to my career. The only approach to her, are the websites that teachers recommend for investigation, like Pubmed or with fiable contents. But the most closely to we are treating now, is Aula Digital , where all classes are uploaded for study of the students.

Because of this activity I search on the Internet websites related to Obstetrics and Childcare, that I could enjoy visiting (because enter to Aula Digital isn't very enjoyable, in fact nothing with the University! jajaja) I search specifically for the mother-son beautiful relationship. It is the first time I visit this site.

The link is http://amazingpregnancy.com/

The site is aimed towards those women that are pregnant or have just given birth.
I like it because here I can find picture galleries such as ultrasounds, which as website's name says, are amazing! They are also organised by the weeks of pregnancy.

We could also find videos and articles related to Obstetrics and Childcare. It's a very nice website of Maternity.

A beautiful 3D ultrasound :)
