Yes, I found it hard too.

I said I am very passionate with regards to the care women receive in maternity services. That this is the main reason I want to be a midwife to be truly 'with woman' and to provide holistic, individualised care to the best of my ability. That community midwifery is where my heart lies as this is achieved from booking, through homebirth and then into the postnatal period. Getting to know each woman, what her hopes and dreams are and being able to empower her to have the pregnancy, labour and postnatal care she wishes to have.

Sounds a bit pants now, but I did get in (not sure why?!)

I wish to be a midwife as I would like to work closely with women and their families through the time in which their family may grow and prosper. I feel that being involved in a woman’s pregnancy – regardless of the outcome- is an absolute honour and I would be grateful to be able to help care for and help educate women to enable them to make their own informed choice during pregnancy and childbirth. I also said that I'd like to be able to help women who didn't have such a good outcome with previous pregnancies, whether thats a bad pregnancy or loss of a child come to terms with this and enable them to enjoy their current pregnancy and feel confident in themselves as parents. I said that I'd like to be able to give new parents and parents to be the knowledge and confidence to gain control and enjoy their new role as parents.

I said "I'm passionate about women and the care they recieve during pregnacy. To be able to act as an advocate for these women and empower them to have the birthing experience they desire is my number one priority. I can't really explain it, it's something I feel inside and I know I have to do this..."

I said i was amazed at the process of reproduction and from the age of abou 3, coiuldnt help but stare at pregnancy bumps. At 7, i decided i wanted to be a nurse this stuck with me through to the age of 14 when we received careers guidence at school and I looked at different branches of nursing but something just wasnt right.... then i read up on midwifery and it just clicked. I wanted to help people who wanted my help. Cancer patients are greatful for the care they receive but no one can say they want to need cancer treatment. Also said I wanted to support women and their families through a life changing event whilst empowering (i hate that word) then to be involved in the decision making surrounding their care and some stuff about how i beleive birth should be what the mother wants....
