Sample Book Insights:

#1 I knew from the age of sixteen that I wanted to be a midwife. I was the stereotypical artsy type of girl, but I didn’t have any interest in academics. I spent my teenage years going out with my friends, and I never thought about a career in midwifery until a teacher suggested there was a taster course on offer.

#2 The community midwives would visit women in their homes after the birth, and listen to their stories. They would put complete trust and faith into their midwives, who were usually strangers to them.

#3 I was so determined to become a midwife that I spent six days shadowing a midwife, and by the end of that week, I knew I had found my calling. I was so determined to fulfill my destiny that I immediately applied for a midwifery diploma course.

#4 I was so excited to start my midwifery course, but I was also extremely nervous. I was the only student who had started university early, and I didn’t know what to expect.
