I want to become a midwife?

Question

im 21 and have 11 month old little girl. i want to become a midwife but think cos i have a baby its too much i think i should stay at home and be a good house wife but i really want to become a midwife

Answer 1

are you in UK or US??

i could let you know the right sites to get info from if your in UK.

as for whether or not to train - it is hard work, and long hours; maybe your ready now, or you could wait another year, until you feel truly ready??

Answer 2

I don't know the education path for a midwife overseas (I'm from U.S.) but usually you need to go to nursing school first and then apply to a Nurse Practicioner or midwife school. If thats what you really want to do, take a look into what needs to be done and if you take more time than others at it (going to school part time instead of full time), it is still a worthwhile goal.

Answer 3

it's a long program. you have to get a bachelor's degree in nursing, then go to masters program.

Answer 4

I think you shoul stay at home and rest because you are a pregnant. Which is the most important your baby or being a succesful midwife? But for me the important is the baby because his lyf is on trouble and you too you can just continue your studies of being a succesful midwife after the delvery of your baby. RIGHT!

Answer 5

so go for it! if its what you want. your child is now old enough for you to leave her with someone else for a few hours a day - perhaps her dad. start a night course or something. lol i wanna be a midwife too!
