 What keeps you motivated in the tough times? As all current and past student midwives will know, there can be some real tough times in midwifery.... from balancing work/study/home/kids/family/partners to gaining and loosing confidence to dealing with difficult clients or colleagues.... how do we get through it? and why?..

 Re: What keeps you motivated in the tough times? Reading thank you cards from women, eating chocolate and icecream,  crying and moaning to my fellow student midwifes, talking to my mentor about my issues, remembering that there's not long left to go, hugs from my boyfriend and a nice foot rub after a long stressful day on the wards, remembering why I started the course and how I felt on a great day, biting the bullet and getting on with assignments, wine, vodka,  getting away from it all and doing something completely non-midwifery related for a day, daydreaming about a holiday and travelling when I qualify.... And all because I know deep down that this is the right career for me and that you can't beat the highs.

| Re: What keeps you motivated in the tough times? Ive had a really tough time personally recently and I was at breaking point and even met with my tutor to discuss taking a year out (those of you who know me know how tough its been) it wasnt related to practice but life just got in the way. After 45 mins of a head spill to 2 of my lecturers, I was back out on my way to do a Clinic, with a smile. They do their job well
