When I was a kid, I used to watch vlogs or videos of labour (not in a weird way) which my parents HATED, and they took away the internet for almost 3 years! So I’m 16 now and I just think this job was made for me. I always wanted to do this, so I’m not giving up 😅
Me too! When i was younger i used to watch birthing videos super often and I find beauty in seeing a human be born and I have been considering becoming a midwife for years!
Honestly me too!! Im 15 turning 16 and im going in 11th grade this august. And it never disgusts me i watched on instagram a woman give birth naturally and the blood was dripping down her leg and everything and i was just watching. I believe that i just enjoy birth because its so special to just see a baby being brought into this world and brought into life, and I cant wait to go into the midwife profession. Although some of the things she listed is me im not backing down from this profession and i will try to change myself.
I am on an access course to Midwifery now, hoping to gain a place at University next year. And the shyness of speaking in groups or doing presentations honestly scares the life out of me… but I do hope I can over come that as I would hate for it to get in my way of qualifying as a midwife 🙈
I’m a single mother trying to decide her career change and have always wanted to do midwifery… this video is sooo insightful, thank you so much for this!
I like how honest and real you are when talking about them facts...cause they are actually true ! It is useful for people that want to come into Midwifery in case they have doubts....
Nadine! My dear from the way you presented this,I can assess that Midwifery is not only your profession but your talent as well. This is good, you are selfless, with blessed hands that are ready to work. God bless you so much.
When I was about 3 my mom got pregnant and hired a personal midwife. The midwife was one of the nicest people I have ever meet and I remember thinking I wanted to grow up and be just like her. I had forgotten about this untill a couple years ago when I really started thinking about college and what I want to do. I am now 15 and looking at what collages offer the midwifery program. I'm hoping to start being able to really save up for the student loans I know are coming my way but I am sure this is the field I want to go into.
I so want to study midwifery in the future after my current degree which isn't health based. But I'm an introvert, can be shy and quiet and even though I know it's something I want to do I'm not sure I would be able to. I have huge anxieties to like speaking in presentations. Hoping my current degree can help me over come some of these as it is leadership degree but been living with some of my insecurities for a long time and still can't get over them. Thanks for the video x
As a single mum planning to start my career in midwifery by next year and sending my girls back home to my mum, I can’t wait to start my level 3 health and social care and get into UNI 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks, Nayy :) This is a comprehensive talk about the reality of Midwifery as a career. I'm going to take a Diploma course of Nursing before in enrol in Midwifery, just to be certain I'm heading the right direction, in terms of emergency situations. Australia
Watching this clip has increased my excitement of Midwifery as a career option. Another thing to possibly add is: can you juggle all the areas of your life, especially while you are a student. I hear that the caseload is HEAVY in Nursing anyway, and that Midwifery courses require study and placements, lectures, meetings, and all the commitments of taking a full-time course at Uni. If this sounds difficult, then Midwifery is not for you. I hope that this video has armed many more people with the confidence and enthusiasm to choose Midwifery, because I think it's a calling :)
Thank you so much for making this video! In your opinion, do you think single moms can make midwifery work? I’m considering applying to the program, but I don’t know what sacrifices I’ll have to make regarding my child. Any advice helps, even if it means midwifery isn’t for me. Thank you!
Yes I 100% think single mums can do it. I’ve seen my friends who are single mums do it, so it’s definitely possible. Seek help with child where you can from family or friends if money is a problem xx
I am a third year mechanical engineering student but im currently thinking about switching my major to midwifery. Ive always been better with math and physics than things like biology and memorizing.. my question is how much memorizing/biologogy is there and is it possible for me to do with absolutely 0 knowledge in biology beforehand (i didnt have to take bio in school)
I am about to go on to my last year of college and I love to chose midwifey. The one thing holding me back is the constant worry that I'll do the wrong thing that is not good for the mother or her baby, I'll read the scans wrong and so on. Does those fears go away?
Hey, you don’t need to worry because they’ll teach you everything you need to know. You’ll have plenty of practice and you won’t be doing things on your own until you comfortable. I was worried before I started because I had no clue but I learnt and kept practicing my skills. So don’t worried xxx
Im on he course before starting uni, I really think midwifery will be a good job for me since I had a stillbirth at 37weeks it was so difficult I feel as though I can help mothers through the good and the bad
Hello! So I've always had a big interest about pregnancy, pregnant women, women's health in general and also I was always amazed by the act of birth alone. I feel like it's a miracle. But, after high school I never actually concidered following that path. I followed tourism because I live in a touristic country. I'm in my mid 20's and I'm considering changing careers and following the path of the midwife.
Hi! I’m highly considering midwifery as a career path. My only concern is that I am on the shy side. I do communicate quickly and effectively through email. I’m most worried about the words I use when I’m speaking verbally as Im not always as eloquent as I’d like. Do you think schooling & training would help combat that or should I look elsewhere for a career?
I don't think it's impossible to be a bit on the shyer side, however if you're backwards or prone to being pushed around/told what to do, it may not be for you; Midwives and OB/GYNs both need to have strong personalities to do the work that they do well.
So I’m about to finish sterile processing tech class. And I was deeply thinking about becoming a midwife. Because of my own experience I really wanted to become a midwife. But I’m trying to work on my communication. 😕 now I feel like I shouldn’t do it. Idk. But thanks for sharing.
Hey, you can always work on your communication if you really want to be a midwife. I was really bad when it came to talking in front of people but I’ve overcome it x
Hello Nadine thank you for your info. I always wanted to be a midwife now i am 56 the children have grown a i have the time so i am going to try what do you think
Genuinely appreciate this video, I can tell you care a lot about what you do! I like how honest you were about big and small aspects of the job. Made me really think about my own tendencies a bit closer.
Hey, I’m 15 years old and I am thinking about what I should choose for a levels and of course a levels play a huge part in getting a job and uni. I’m stuck with the option of choosing midwifery as my job or doing law. The only thing I am worried about for midwifery is that it’s too heavily science based, I’m not amazing at chemistry but am getting good grades in biology (7-9). Im scared because I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it and if it’s right for me. I’m good at talking to people and I am confident. I want to help the world in some way but I don’t know what I’ll truly be happy in and what’s better for me, if possible do you have any advice? Thank you!!!💕
Sameeee, i’m also 15 (16 in 2 Months) and am thinking about what to study in college (i have to choose at the end of this school year). And i still don’t know what i want to do
You can absolutely do it. If it is your passion and if it is what you want to do (and it really sounds like it is), then you can do it. Follow your heart and do your best and everything will turn out okay.
Heyyy! There’s no chemistry in Midwifery so you don’t need that. Also if you get a pass in GCSE science that’s all you’ll need. I wasn’t good at science but I’m a midwife. It’s not heavily science based. Everything you’ll need to know to be a midwife you’ll teach you. You just need to figure out if it’s right for you x
The gloves part made me giggle, as a doula I've seen so many times obs be like "hold on don't push" and be putting in full garb taking their time. I always thought it was ridiculous like she can't hold on😂😂😂
I am currently in the course Health and Social Care, aiming to be a midwife, but I have a serious stage fright, and I don't like anything that comes with presentations. I want to become a midwife, though I went into Health and Social Care because my mom advised me to. Going into the course recently I found it interesting, but I don't know science or biology, because I did Art subjects in secondary school. I really want to succeed in this course and become a qualified midwife. Do you have any advice for me on effective study methods, books to recommend and things like that? Thank you😊. I like your videos they are inspirational.
Nice video! I work as a midwife in Japan and I agree what you were talking about.I don’t speak good English but I’m gonna learn from your videos.Thanks!
i’m applying to uni to do midwifery in a few months. I’m quite shy, will that be a problem? i’ve done about 170hr work experience in a care home and my communication skills and confidence have gotten sooo much better yet i’m still worried if i’m a tad too shy? or is it something that comes with time?
im beyond stuck with what i want to do, im doing a 1080 lvl 3 diploma in animal management at the moment in my second year and start uni next year. im stuck between marine biologist and then midwifery. its difficult as they are so so different and the education is also very different, no clue which path to go. any advice really needed :)
Hey girl soooo what about if i worked labor and delivery and HATED IT? I enjoyed the births and i loved the midwives birth! But i hated all the L&D things, the floor nursing part of things, and the unnatural things …i was fresh out of school, and L&D made me highly anxious . should i not pursue midwifery ?
Heyy, my favourite mentor was a male midiwfe when I was a student and he was amazing. He didn’t face that many issues however some clients would prefer female midwives and doctors but other than that it’s fine x
Please 🙏🙏can you be my mentor Am still an O level degree holder but I have a strong passion for midwifery Please I want to be like you one day but I need someone to guide me through Please help me out 🙏
@@michelleadebiyi2341yeah you get 4 days the week after to offset it but it's not worth it imo. And during that week you have 6 days you could have as much as two days with 5-6 hours of sleep because you go home late but gotta show up early
I’ve always been the type to watch childbirth shows! I originally wanted to do Labor and Delivery but now I’m interested in MidWifery. I have a background in Nursing and I’m a Massage Therapist student who plans on starting an Prenatal Massage Practice and I’ve always wanted to become a Doula and MidWife. I’m going to sign up for doula training. I’ll finish both the Doula Training and my Massage Therapy at the same time! And then off to MidWife education! Thanks so much for sharing ❤
I had my 3 babies and cannot get past the pull to be in that hospital to be actively part of that whole environment and being part of the whole labour and birthing process for other women. My biggest concern is, with three kids (all under 5 now) will I be TOO short on time to start midwifery? Would it be best for me to wait until all start school?
I always feel fainty whenever I have to assist doctors in operating theatres once in a while even sometimes nearly throw up during deliveries so true, you are point on, its really really to be in a profession that turns you out as the patient instead
This really made sense, i ended pretending this at certificate level, families thought its what I have to study but I don't feel like i need to be in an environment with people all the time and also don't like working under a lot of pressure from time to time so I truly let it go in my heart to do what i believe am best at.
Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful! I have no qualms with blood only thing that I don’t like is vomit lol but you’ll probably get used to it after a while haha
- ive completed one year of my degree and took a gap year after doing 6 weeks of second year due to my MH - i am so stuck on what to do as i thought this was what i wanted to do... :((
how did people not know midwifery is meant to help women in labor and deliver babies? I love ur content so much and your a huge inspiration to me as ive always wanted to be a midwife, Seeing my mom give birth to my little brother with little care from the doctors and her being in and out of the hospital made me want this career because i want to ensure a safe and happy delivery for all women
Starting college to go into midwifery and I’m so excited. It’s my dream job. I know it will have its ups and downs and I will go through them to achieve my dream.
@@NadineNayy How do you handle it when a women in labour starts screaming at you or is kinda on edge? Like women in labour sometimes get sort of bitchy (I dont know how to say it in a better way). I don't know if this happens often, but I can imagine it
I know you asked her, and not me, however I would personally try to assure my patient that they're doing great, and offer techniques to reduce the intensity of their contractions. i.e. a hot bath, putting mother in certain physical positions, etc. This is where birth doulas really shine...I'd like to think at least most other nurse midwives or OB/GYNs would react the same way.
My heart says I truly understand the sacrifices all sacrifices these women have been taking on them selfs!!!! I have so much love and respect for them.
Hey! I hope this isn’t too late to ask question, I’m wondering as myself being deaf person and I wear hearing aids I can communicate speaking/signing but cannot ring and that’s the only issue I have, is that a problem? Would it affect the job? Thanks! xx
Hey, I would advice that you ask the uni directly to see if they can make adjustments for you. This is something I don’t know about but if I find out I’ll defo let you know x
I wondering frist of all you can work in a hospital setting or outside of the hospital if you what to I hope that there more people to come in each an become in the Healthcare team there are no physician jobs out there and time for yourself you can work independently or with a hospital company it's a choose.
Do you think a psychology bachelor would be useful for this at all? I'm thinking of switching career paths again trying to find my match. How long was the training for you? Was there anything you learned before this profession that helped you prepare for this?
Would midwifery be a useful first career if I wanted to later on switch back to my psychologist plan? I just want an exciting job where I can use all of my brain to its full extent.
Hi. I am in year 9 at school and they are putting a lot of pressure on us to decide the options as they are in a few months. Can you please tell me what the best options would be to take if you aspire to be be a midwife???
It’s important to pick the subjects you enjoy that’s the first advice I’ll give. And if possible pick health care subjects that will help your application. I picked health and social care, double science, a language, dance and business studies. X
We've been handling blood, poop, urine, sputum, semen. But I can't do phlebotomy (cause of no blood flow), so I quit. And I'm thinking of shifting to the midwifery. 😢
Also I feel like you can overcome some of these things! Like does anyone actually like public speaking? I don’t think that alone means you shouldn’t study something
Hello I'm an international degree midwife for more than five years and wish to work in ontario 🇨🇦 as a work. Please guide on the process involved. Thank you

Agreed, mainly wards settings x
Is there a difference how do do you become an home birth midwife?

Thanks, Nayy :) This is a comprehensive talk about the reality of Midwifery as a career.
I'm going to take a Diploma course of Nursing before in enrol in Midwifery, just to be certain I'm heading the right direction, in terms of emergency situations. Australia

I’m in the 12th grade and I wanna be a midwife so bad but chemistry is killing me😩
I dont think you need chemistry for Midwifery
I’ve always been the type to watch childbirth shows! I originally wanted to do Labor and Delivery but now I’m interested in MidWifery. I have a background in Nursing and I’m a Massage Therapist student who plans on starting an Prenatal Massage Practice and I’ve always wanted to become a Doula and MidWife. I’m going to sign up for doula training. I’ll finish both the Doula Training and my Massage Therapy at the same time! And then off to MidWife education! Thanks so much for sharing ❤
You’ve got a lot of skills behind you, you’ll be great 🙌🏾
@@NadineNayy Thanks so much. I appreciate you ❤️🫶🏽
Omg I hate vomit😭😭😭 but i wont let that stop me from becoming a midwife😂🤷♀️
😂😂 that’s the attitude you need, 💪🏾trust me there’s a lot I had to get over x x
I really love this course ,and I will love learn more 💕
I had my 3 babies and cannot get past the pull to be in that hospital to be actively part of that whole environment and being part of the whole labour and birthing process for other women. My biggest concern is, with three kids (all under 5 now) will I be TOO short on time to start midwifery? Would it be best for me to wait until all start school?
Hello lm doing Midwifery cause in south Sudan and I wish to visited your country
I always feel fainty whenever I have to assist doctors in operating theatres once in a while even sometimes nearly throw up during deliveries so true, you are point on, its really really to be in a profession that turns you out as the patient instead
Do you do drug calculations in midwifery degree.
Yes you do x
U need maths more than you think with midwifery
I’m currently attending Uni to become a midwife, but I don’t know what to do. My advisors are zero help so I’m going blind. Wish me luck!
Good luck xx
This really made sense, i ended pretending this at certificate level, families thought its what I have to study but I don't feel like i need to be in an environment with people all the time and also don't like working under a lot of pressure from time to time so I truly let it go in my heart to do what i believe am best at.
Pls is it good to go to a midwifery school or a university to study
It’s the same thing x
Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful! I have no qualms with blood only thing that I don’t like is vomit lol but you’ll probably get used to it after a while haha
You’ll get used to it x
Is it a must to have A levels befor becoming a midwife
No you don’t, you can do an access course and there’s other routes you can take x
How long are access courses
- ive completed one year of my degree and took a gap year after doing 6 weeks of second year due to my MH - i am so stuck on what to do as i thought this was what i wanted to do... :((
If this isn’t your life’s purpose, please don’t push it! If your heart isn’t in it you will cause harm later💖
I agree x
Thank you so much.
Your very help.
I been looking in to it.
Heyy,
No problem xx
how did people not know midwifery is meant to help women in labor and deliver babies?
I love ur content so much and your a huge inspiration to me as ive always wanted to be a midwife, Seeing my mom give birth to my little brother with little care from the doctors and her being in and out of the hospital made me want this career because i want to ensure a safe and happy delivery for all women
❤️❤️🙏🏾
Can u help me to be come a midewife
I’m happy offer you advice on the process x
Starting college to go into midwifery and I’m so excited. It’s my dream job. I know it will have its ups and downs and I will go through them to achieve my dream.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m in year 10 now and I have wanted to do it since I was a little girl what do your GCSEs have to be like ? ❤️
Make sure you have your maths English and science and then the rest you can decide which you want to do x
Aah I really want to become a midwife. Hope I can handle it🤞
I’m sure you can x
@@NadineNayy How do you handle it when a women in labour starts screaming at you or is kinda on edge? Like women in labour sometimes get sort of bitchy (I dont know how to say it in a better way). I don't know if this happens often, but I can imagine it
I know you asked her, and not me, however I would personally try to assure my patient that they're doing great, and offer techniques to reduce the intensity of their contractions. i.e. a hot bath, putting mother in certain physical positions, etc. This is where birth doulas really shine...I'd like to think at least most other nurse midwives or OB/GYNs would react the same way.
@@hannahb7038 Thank you! That sounds indeed like a good way of helping them
i’m afraid of blood but i really really want to become a midwife so i’ll just have to get used to it😩
You’ll learn to control that fear
I had a fear of public speaking and addressing loads of people and I’ve learnt to do it x
Thank you very much for this information/ advice/ education.
❤️❤️❤️
My heart says I truly understand the sacrifices all sacrifices these women have been taking on them selfs!!!! I have so much love and respect for them.
Helloo I heard that if you get 2nd class lower in midwifery it becomes difficult for you to further to your PhD , masters how true is that?
Hey, I haven’t looked into PhD’s that’s something I’ll have to research x
@@NadineNayy Ookay please
Hey! I hope this isn’t too late to ask question, I’m wondering as myself being deaf person and I wear hearing aids I can communicate speaking/signing but cannot ring and that’s the only issue I have, is that a problem? Would it affect the job? Thanks! xx
Hey, I would advice that you ask the uni directly to see if they can make adjustments for you. This is something I don’t know about but if I find out I’ll defo let you know x
Thanks for this video, I'm considering studying midwifery and this helps
Glad it’s helped 🙌🏾🙌🏾💕
Hello, I agree with you Nadine on this topic. Well presented .
Sicks the only thing but I've managed to get myself down to a shudder as opposed to running out the room
I wondering frist of all you can work in a hospital setting or outside of the hospital if you what to I hope that there more people to come in each an become in the Healthcare team there are no physician jobs out there and time for yourself you can work independently or with a hospital company it's a choose.
Do you think a psychology bachelor would be useful for this at all? I'm thinking of switching career paths again trying to find my match. How long was the training for you? Was there anything you learned before this profession that helped you prepare for this?
Would midwifery be a useful first career if I wanted to later on switch back to my psychologist plan? I just want an exciting job where I can use all of my brain to its full extent.
Very helpful video, thank you.
Hi. I am in year 9 at school and they are putting a lot of pressure on us to decide the options as they are in a few months. Can you please tell me what the best options would be to take if you aspire to be be a midwife???
It’s important to pick the subjects you enjoy that’s the first advice I’ll give. And if possible pick health care subjects that will help your application. I picked health and social care, double science, a language, dance and business studies. X
@@NadineNayy thanks xx
Only thing am worried about is getting baby fever! They are so freakin cute when they are born! And I dont wanna have babies🤣
Baby fever is real in this job 😅😂
I love your videos, thanks for your time
Pleasure 💕
Please I need advise,I want to study midwifery and nursing,is college a good place to study? Help a sister 😥😥
Hi, yes an access course is a great place to start x
Do they extract like phlebotomy? I Quit medtech cause of phlebotomy. Cause I can't get any blood flow. 😢
We've been handling blood, poop, urine, sputum, semen. But I can't do phlebotomy (cause of no blood flow), so I quit. And I'm thinking of shifting to the midwifery. 😢
We are training to take blood from patients
@@NadineNayy hi! Thank you for answering. Can I also ask what type of syringes, type of method, and their cc?
I’m a mother of three I think I did everything you said in labour I just need to all my qualifications then apply
Pls x that true that maybe my first-time delivery didn't go well I'm going to be sack from the job
That’s not true x
Okay thk u very much
Can you plan to have a child while studying midwifery or do I need to wait and finish my course
You can have kids while on the course, that it totally up to you. You may need to take time off etc but the choice is yours x
How we can communicate well??
With practice 🙏🏾
I really love this course
Is midwifery extremely scientific based? This sounds dumb but I’m 16 and trying to figure out if I want to do nursing or midwifery
Both are the same level of biology & maths (for drugs etc).
Hey, no it’s not x
nursing too isn’t really scientific based either
Hi! Im planning to take midwifery this yr😊 i wonder if midwifery has chemistry? Is it hard?
No there’s no chemistry x
Good morning, thank you for this 😊
This program must be for people who love live through birth. Considering life precious and needed, I feel people can consider this program.
Im still in high school but this video helps me so much for my future 💕
💕💕
Also I feel like you can overcome some of these things! Like does anyone actually like public speaking? I don’t think that alone means you shouldn’t study something
You definitely can over come these things, it’s just nice to know what comes with the course x
Please dear....I'm going for my oral interview tomorrow and I don't really know the likely questions they will ask.... please can you help?
Hey, I have a video on this…ruclips.net/video/h245FL4vbPg/видео.html
Hello I'm an international degree midwife for more than five years and wish to work in ontario 🇨🇦 as a work. Please guide on the process involved. Thank you
Heyy
I’m not based in 🇨🇦 so wouldn’t know
I’m a UK 🇬🇧 midwife x
@@NadineNayy Thanks dear
Hey, i need a medwifery courses , suggest me some youtube channels please 🥺 thank u ❤️
You can’t study midwifery on RUclips. You have to go to university and study a degree x
Have you ever had a woman pee on your face? During delivery 😰
Nope never, thank goodness 😅
Hi, great video I loved it ! ❤
How many weeks is each year of Midwifery degree, is it always 45 weeks or does it vary? X
Thank you 🙏🏾
Answer to your question will depend on the uni you go to and the structure they have x
