Student Midwife’s and Midwife’s experiences

Hi all, hope you’re well!
I just wanted to find out more about student midwife’s and midwife’s roles and their journey of how they achieved their goals.
What do you enjoy most about midwifery and do you feel you made the right decision?
Maybe if you could also note down how your passion began.
Much appreciated!

the role of the midwife is very important for the expecting mother to be, especially at community level where she'll be looked after throughout her pregnancy and depending on whether she wants a home birth or her community midwife recommends having it in a more sterile area like the maternity unit at the local hospital.
I enjoy the role as a midwife because I know that I am providing a fantastic experience to the expecting mother during her time in the maternity unit, we are there to support her through the birth whether it is a student midwife handling things or as a qualified midwife you treat your patient the best possible way with the best care.
My passion for a midwife come from my passion for wanting to be a adult nurse and follow my mum and big sister into nursing but I wanted to be different as reason I wanted to be a midwife.
I myself wanted to be a adult nurse at first and then at a later date go on and do the midwife shortened degree course to be a midwife but that opportunity didn't happen but I did get the opportunity to do midwifery which I snapped up straight away as it actually saved me going back to university for 18/20 months.
Since I qualified I have never looked back as only forward with my job role as a qualified midwife, I am now currently working as a band 7 senior charge midwife but it comes with lots and lots of extra responsibilities.
So what is your passion for this.
Registered NHS midwife
