Transcript of Midwifery
Jo Masri, midwife, Sydney - The best part about being a midwife is the relationships and connections that you form with the women that you're caring for and their families.
Kim, midwife, Sydney - What I enjoy about my job is just being there at the birth, being there with the woman and her family, and just, it's a privilege to be with her and to bring life into the world, support her bring a life into the world. And it's just, yeah, it's just so special.
Cindy, midwife, Nepean - As they birth and as they welcome their new baby into the world, just seeing them be strong and confident and empowered and just this beautiful bond in this family is just wonderful.
Joanne, midwife, Tamworth - One day, we were all in out the front of the clinic. All my babies walked past in their uniforms for school for the first time, so that was pretty good as well.
Jenny, midwife, Queanbeyan - Most rewarding part of my job, it's seeing someone come in who's maybe frightened, anxious, because they're in labour. And at the end of that labour or as they walk out the door, that they're happy, they've got a healthy baby, and they're starting a new life as a new family together. I'm lucky because I come to work and do a job I love every day.
Annette, midwife, Sydney - Just that miracle of birth, every single time is a surprise. And I always say that I think it's probably the closest thing to a miracle you ever get to see. I'm proud to be a midwife because I am so honoured to be part of a woman's journey.
