I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it's the first of a kind for me and it was great to get an insight to what goes on day to day. I don't remember half the people I seen while pregnant but what I do remember is the ladies faces and names who induced me broke my waters and delivered both my sons. Our country would literally be on its knees without the NHS this lady may not see herself as a saint but I do she's amazing you can feel the passion and love she has for her job and for all the lucky ladies in her care. I hope on release this book becomes a bestseller I'll definitely be buying a few copies for family and friends

Honest and real account of life as a midwife, from student midwifery to fully qualified.

Packed full of emotion, love, stress and frustration at the inadequate resourcing, this will be a compelling read for all fans of real-life medical stories.

If you thought that midwives are just there to catch babies as they’re delivered, Leah Hazard’s great autobiography will open your eyes.
She intersperses stories of the women she’s cared for with an honest and unflinching picture of what it’s really like to   work in the NHS.
This isn’t easy reading: you’ll discover why too many midwives abandon the jobs they love as the profession takes its toll on their lives and mental health. 
My partner is a doctor and this really made me understand why he comes home looking so frazzled and sometimes feels so burned-out.
The best thing about this memoir is that the author can write. I’ve read many stories of fascinating careers where the author is obviously a great professional but sadly not a great story-teller.
Hazard writes beautifully and her work comes alive. You can see the women and feel their remarkable tales.
I read this over the course of two days and thoroughly recommend it.
