Hello everyone !!I'm currently a nursing student and I feel like I have a calling to midwifery. I'm absolutely amazed by pregnancy and labor & delivery, that was without a doubt my favorite class in school ! And I researched what it's like to be a L&D nurse and it sounds great but ... it makes me feel like I'm missing something. I'm missing the compassion of following a woman and her partner through all of pregnancy and labor. And I want to teach I love teaching and I wanna teach mothers deal with pregnancy and labor! And as for all the other duties a midwife has like vaginal exams and paps I'm ok with that I feel I will enjoy it all. The thing that I feel would give me the most joy in a career would be the ability to hand a new mother her baby for the first time, be the only thing inbetween a mother and her baby, it honestly gives me chills ! I would just just like to be in contact with a CNM so I can have some questions answered and be able to hear what it's like from an actual person that lives it ! Also anyone in Pennsylvania would also be great thank you !!!
