I love hearing from them and remembering my own initial excitement as I discovered this new world. Most want to know how they can become midwives. These used to be difficult questions, but they are getting easier to answer. More opportunities are available now than ever in recent history. Schools are opening.
Birth centers are more available.
In my 20 years in the field of midwifery, I have not seen growth like we are seeing now. The Internet is an example of this surge of information. Each week we get contacted from individuals and organizations to be included in the links section of this web page. The web is a great place to start finding out about midwifery. Many organizations provide a lower cost membership fee for students and supporters.
