Every woman is entitled to have the information,
power and support to make choices around her
pregnancy and birth that are completely right for her
and her family. It is a Midwife’s job to listen, guide and
support the woman to make these choices. I feel very
privileged to be a part of this age-old profession and all
the joy and challenge it presents. I have three little
people of my own so have seen firsthand how
important good midwifery support is and how
