What is it like being a midwife?

What is a midwife? do they deliver babies? what do midwife's do exactly? what qualifications do you need?

  • UK ONLY PLEASE.

  • Answer:

    A midwife will be a qualified person who has either trained as a nurse and then taken a graduate programme as a midwife or who has a degree in midwifery. All my three babies were delivered in midwife only facilities and were painless and drug free births. The midwives also did all the pre-natal care. I never saw a doctor or a hospital. For an uncomplicated birth, a midwife is 1,000 times as good as the best doctor in the world as this is all they do and they really do it well.
