I work in a maternal¹ department at a large hospital and I delivered 1649 babies so far. It is a great job. Because it brings happiness to people’s lives. When I handle a new baby to the parents, I knew that’s one of the most happiest moment of their lives. On the other hand, it’s a very stressful job. I usually work nights, work long hours. So I haven’t had time to have a baby of my own jet².
