International Day of the Midwife

Happy you day!  This is a day to recognise the incredible work you do, the care you give others.  As a midwife there may be a wide range of emotions that you experience each day, joy, sadness, anxiety, happiness, relief. I can’t think of many professions where people can experience such extreme emotions in such a short space of time.

This is why it’s important for you to take time out to destress, to let things go, ground yourself. Regular practice of mindfulness or other things that allow you to really let go of the day, are vital to building resilience and preventing burn out.

We see what you do, all of the mothers whose babies are born into this world and have been cared by you say THANK YOU. Thank you for doing the best that you can each and every day. You do an incredible job and you are amazing.

This mp3 is my gift to you, for all the mothers that have said to me “my midwife was fantastic, she listened to me, and really cared, she helped me have the birth I wanted”.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy
