Brenda Walcott is an adult nurse and midwife in the UK. She was interviewed for a UK nurse's blog and asked why she loves being a midwife. Brenda answered that the rewards far outweigh the challenges in a midwifery career. Some rewards include meeting a lot of new people at an exciting time in their lives, sharing the excitement of their pregnancy, helping them throughout the different stages of their pregnancy, and providing valuable information. Other interesting and exciting reasons to work as a midwife include assisting parents with resources, teaching about breastfeeding, planning the birth, and the most exciting part, the baby's birth. Let the interviewers know the reasons you love being a midwife and why.

"I love being a midwife for many reasons. My favourite part of working as a midwife is when the baby is born. It is such a magical experience, and it never gets old. I have assisted in approximately 100 births, and every one is as special as the first one. I also love working with the parents throughout the pregnancy and educating them on available resources and what to expect. I also enjoy connecting with my patients and sharing their excitement the first time they hear the fetus's heartbeat and see their baby on the ultrasound. I truly feel I have the best job in the world."
