i think it's the person you are that decides whether you will be a good midwife (does that make sense?!)

some women could have 2/3 kids but not have the persona to connect with the women they'll meet.

life experience is a valuable attribute to every walk of life but you should't dismiss people for not having the same experience as the next person else how will they learn.

all that should matter is that the midwife looking after you has the passion to want to be a midwife and to be there and help you.

two of my friends are childless wannabe midwives and i've no doubt that they will be fantastic, i'd have no prejudice about them being there with me if i was in labor x
