School's about to start, only a week to go. A week! I thought I had two weeks left! So I'm frantically running about to arrange stuff, making calls to find babysitters and trying to imagine what my days would look like then.
Midwifery has always appealed to me, but I could never really say why. I was impressed by the pictures of the midwife who attended my birth as I realized that it were her hands that first touched me, weird realization I tell you!
But only when I gave birth to my first child the wish to become a midwife myself became very very clear. After a second child and long loooong contemplation and ofcourse discussions with my boyfriend I decided to go for it. But now that I've been admissioned to midwifery-school it all becomes very very real. Will I be able to do it, what will it really be like, can we manage as a family? There are so many insecurities, and I sincerely hope that we'll be able to pull through.
But the thought alone, of being a midwife, makes me so happy, that it's worth to at least try and give it a shot.
Think possible, not impossible!
(I have to keep saying that to myself ;) )
For you foreign readers, ofcourse Dutch ob/gyn or midwifery system is a bit different from the US (or global) version. If anything is ever unclear, or you're just curious about how things work around here, just ask!
