I know how painful it can be to be thinking about leaving midwifery. Having some space to think through your options is key. I’ve spent the last three years writing a book which meant I got to interview lots of midwives doing interesting things with their careers. Having a plan can bring back your motivation and enthusiasm as you finish your last placement. Or, if you need to take a break from placement, many excellent students do this. Whatever comes next, there is no wasted effort with midwifery, it all counts.

Talk it over with someone who has taken a break from midwifery can come back stronger. We can figure it out together.

If there's anything not on this page you'd like to talk about or cover, that's fine, just let me know when you fill out the form below.
