conv: I was so afraid when I was pregnant with my first child.  I was nervous and worried about labour.  However i put all my faith in the lovely midwives and everything worked out fine.  I have such admiration for people in that industry as it really is a vocation not just a job.   I recently had my first child.  I was absolutely terrified when I went into labour but I put all my faith in the wonderful midwives and everything worked out perfectly! I'm glad it went as planned. I can imagine that to be a very stressful moment. it really was its just so scary but I had to believe the experience and caring nature of the midwives would get my through it and it did.  I really admire anyone in that career_comma_ its not just a job but a vocation. You've really got to be committed to go into work like that. It's not for everybody_comma_ I agree. Indeed.  The really do work with life and death everyday.
