10 years ago today, I graduated as a midwife. 🤎

If you’d told me then where I’d end up, I wouldn’t have believed you.

My first job was at a trust with double the birth rate of where I trained. No gentle start, just straight into the deep end during my preceptorship. Looking back, I think that’s exactly what I needed. Since then, life’s taken me in directions I never expected.

I now teach, helping shape the next generation of midwives coming through. And a few years ago, I started building something of my own, a business supporting families through pregnancy and beyond, born out of everything I’ve learnt in the last 10 years.

Different rooms, different roles, but it’s all rooted in the same thing, trying to make a real difference for women and families.

Ten years in, I still think being a midwife is less a career and more a calling 🤎

It was a pleasure to write an article for the The Practising Midwife on the importance of physical touch during pregnancy and birth, which is free to access.

Midwives are uniquely placed in supporting and encouraging compassionate self-care during this transformative stage of life, such as touch and massage 🤎

The National Maternity Review makes for difficult reading and there’s atill more to read...

My thoughts are with every woman, baby and family affected, and with the maternity professionals and student midwives who continue to give so much within a system that has been under immense pressure for far too long.

We owe it to everyone to turn these findings into meaningful change 🤎
