This is a series I’ve been working to help those of you who are considering midwifery as your life’s work. Making this decision is such a profound, unique experience for each midwife. I know I benefitted so much from talking with practicing midwives, current students…along with those who made the decision not to pursue midwifery.
I hope that you find it helpful. It’s just one perspective of many about the journey…
