Passing the test

The midwifery test. After a week of waiting the grades were finally mailed. And I passed with a 6.... dutch friends will know that it is just enough to pass...for my American and English friends...its probably a C. It was lower than I had hoped but sufficient. I guess I am still the average student I always was at school!!! Funny really.

This does not mean I became a midwife in a month...but as a doula its important to know the essence of midwifery.

I love this older picture of a dutch midwife with her bike. I hope to do many local births and travel to them on my bike. My first scheduled birth is at the end of November and is close enough to bike to!!

  1. Hey Sophie, Does this mean you have completed the training? Don't give marks a second thought...all the skilled and veterans at anything will tell you that the education only opened the door for them to begin their life long learning in the field...the journey has begun and you have a lovely nature and spirit to get the most out of it. all the best Jill xo
