I found myself looking at schools for midwifery the other day, and I knew that it was time for me to move ahead with my education once again. It's strange, because I was very content with the idea of being a doula. It fits in well with my schedule and that's really the part that I like about birth anyways. I'm perfectly content letting the doctor or nurse be in charge of the medical stuff.
But let's get real, I'm not really content. Obviously there have been some births where what has happened and how the mom was treated really bothered me. But is it enough to go back to school....I guess so. It's very hard for me to deny the pull that is telling me it's time. Now I get to decide where to go. I am very much leaning towards the Frontier Nursing University. Many of my favorite midwifes that I have worked with went there. Plus, I think it'll fit into my schedule well.
Still, I know there will be times that I will want to turn around and hide. The huge responsibility of what it means to be a midwife is kind of scary.....
