Just after people’s thoughts. After having such an amazing labour and birthing experience I keep thinking about how I want to help other women do the same. So I keep wondering if I should look at becoming a midwife, a doula or something else? A few times over the years, I've considered midwifery though until joining bellybelly I didn’t even know doula’s existed. On the one hand I think being a Doula would be great cause the women hiring a doula know what they want so I could help them achieve that. But then I’ve heard so many stories of women who have been unhappy with previous births because they were pushed into choices (or had choices made for them) that they weren’t happy with so becoming a midwife could mean potentially giving women that don’t know about their options a more positive experience. Then to add to that, if I do decide midwifery is the path I want to go down, should I JUST study midwifery or should I become an RN and then study midwifery on top of that. I also keep wondering if there is another option that I haven’t thought of?

Honestly, I may not end up going down this path at all but I want to do some study so I can eventually have a career rather than just a job.
