You might be a midwife if…

A friend pointed this link out to me, which was written by the husband of a busy midwife. It made me laugh, but it also really got me thinking about the lifestyle a midwife leads. Often on call, up at all hours, sometimes spending days and days away from your family while attending a long birth—it certainly can’t be easy on a midwife’s partner! And what a blessing if you’re lucky enough to find a partner who’ll not only put up with it, but is proud of your passion, and supportive of your calling to boot. And yes, I think I’m one of the lucky ones.
