Hi, I'm currently a biomedical science student and I graduate in July 2025. I want to study midwifery and am planning to apply for 2026 entry but I'm scared that because I'm not straight out of sixth form/college or that I don't have any kids myself, I'll be at a disadvantage? I've always been fascinated with pregnancy and birth and how a woman's body adapts to carry a child and caring for women and babies is the dream. Taking the last three years to consider my career options and also learning a little bit about pregnancy and female fertility in my current degree definitely encouraged my decision. Is it normal for people without kids to do midwifery as a second degree? And how can I enhance my application? I plan to work as a HCA once I graduate and read a lot of midwifery books and articles but is there anything else I can do?
