It's been a really big week. I've made a major step in accepting a job working as a midwife in the hospital system. I've worked as an independent midwife for over eight years now working with women giving birth at home, birth centre or occasionally hospitals. Working in this way you get the true sense of what it means to be a midwife. It's a partnership with woman and their families. The down side of working as an independent midwife is working in isolation and also trying to gain access to continuing education that's essential as a midwife is difficult to obtain.
At the hospital - so far I've only attended a two day orientation I start working at the end of next week. I'll keep you informed of how it goes.
