"But, if you need to transfer in to an NHS hospital trust, then whatever the outcome, you may be pursued, seen as practicing unsafely - or more accurately, practising in a way that cannot be controlled." Such an accurate summation even for those of us all the way across the Atlantic. Bless you for your writing, Lynn. I have not been getting through as many pieces as I would like these days, but am so glad for every bit you share that I do read. It helps to bring clarity into some of these real time considerations I wrestle with as a young midwife.

EDIT: I was also able to order Women's Choices, Midwife Voices, and am very much looking forward to diving in!

We learn and support each other through our stories - I loved hearing from the more experienced midwives when I was practicing, so I’m just doing the same. Women particularly thrive on this kind of sharing I think. Thank you for reading… makes it all worthwhile.
