Hi Moira,

If you can put up with a bloke answering  ;D

There are a couple of definitions:

'Confinement Nurse'. May also have the initials S.M.S. (Subsidiary Medical Services. i.e. not a doctor, but trained in some way)

or

A nurse attending women in the first month after confinement, or for a short period after childbirth

Regards

Moira,

Oh I see  :-X  Well, a confinement nurse does sound a pleasanter job!

I'll keep my big blokey nose out next time  LOL ;D

All the best
