Years later that same midwife asked me if I was still interested and this led to the start of my journey in Midwifery. I have since been in three different preceptorships, and from each of them I gained wonderful skills while encountering challenges. These experiences have helped mold me into the midwife I will be, so I want to encourage all the wonderful, zealous, on fire, and optimistic future midwives not to get too overwhelmed.
