I'm glad that you were able to have a connection with your midwife through two pregnancies. <br /><br />Midwives do still operate in the community. It is often the community midwives who attend home births. In some NHS trusts midwives work on a rotation basis so spend some time working in labour and delivery, some time out in the community and some time running doctors clinics, check ups and classes.<br /><br />Hopefully, you should now have the ability to follow my blog...just above my profile information.

My midwife was lovely though, I had her with me for my second baby too which was a real bonus. Do midwives still operate "in the community" or only in hospitals?<br />BTW you dont seem to have the "follower" option invoked on this blog?<br />Joy xxjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288268403388265748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561787352228627311.post-66387339053806408302012-05-05T14:31:58.923-07:002012-05-05T14:31:58.923-07:00Thank you all for your kind comments!
Cath, that...Thank you all for your kind comments! <br /><br />Cath, that is so encouraging to me. There is nothing more in the world that I want than to be that midwife. My training starts in 2013 and I am SO excited. Each pregnancy is amazing but there is something special about that first pregnancy and I am looking forward to having the opportunity to empower women and open them to the confidence in their own bodies for subsequent pregnancies. <br /><br />Love<br /><br />xxLexi...xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04524807771248272291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561787352228627311.post-55218765481203867872012-05-05T14:12:31.038-07:002012-05-05T14:12:31.038-07:00Great post.
