Midwives should be:

  • caring and compassionate
  • decisive
  • good with people

You should have:

  • good physical stamina as the work can be physically and mentally tiring
  • good judgement

Midwives work long hours with irregular schedules that can disrupt personal plans. You must ensure that you provide call coverage 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  This may mean very long periods of time providing care with little time off.

You may conduct prenatal visits in client’s homes and hospitals. This can include a great deal of local travel.
