But in a system under pressure, it’s easy for these moments to get buried under exhaustion, paperwork, and burnout.

That’s why our seminar with @acbmidwife Sustaining Midwifery: Meaningful Midwifery Moments, reminded us that those moments aren’t just memories, they’re fuel.

Midwifery’ is More Than a Job - It is a career
associated with positive health outcomes for women and newborns.

Every midwife has moments that stay with them forever; the look in a mother’s eyes, the relief in a partner’s voice, the quiet power of being fully present.
