I think it's wonderful that you've done so much to get to where you want to be.
Although I'm not studying at the moment I read textbooks on things like bio ethics and the practice of Midwifery as much as possible in order to make things easier for me when I do start studying again. I'm absolutely excited about gaining first hand experience when the baby is born. When I think about it I think my life may have needed this bub to give it purpose. I was pretty lost, but now I feel like everything can and will fall into place. It's a very reassuring thought Quite excited currently!
