When I was 14 and pregnant and met my teenage pregnancy midwife I absolutely knew midwifery was the path for me, 14 years on I have done it! Had my last shift last night as a student midwife, delivered a total of 48 healthy babes over 3yrs and had the time of my life doing so!
Another full circle story! As a student in 2017 I cared for Emma postnatally and delivered her beautiful second son at the most β¨amazingβ¨ home birth in 2020 and now she is a fabulous student midwife working alongside me! π₯°β¨@NorthumbriaUni@QEMedEducation

I wouldnβt be here enjoying my career so much if it wasnβt for my teen pregnancy midwife who inspired me to be a midwife when I was 14 having my baby - I am so proud to have found out I am now a member of the practice development team β€οΈ
