Hi all, and so it begins, kind off. I'm currently at college studying on a access course to university. Today my I finally completed my UCAS entry form and submitted it. And you've probably guessed by now I want to become a male midwife. Yes a male midwife. Yesterday I attended a uni open day, which I really enjoyed, and gave me the push I needed to get my entry form in. The bad news is their are only 15 places with around 30 candidates for each place, so fingers crossed , toes crossed and anything else I can cross. Now its a waiting game just to see if I get to the first stage of an interview.
So a little bit about me. Well I'm 28 with three young children. Previous jobs include being a submariner in the British Royal Navy for some years and more recently being in charge of a team of dreaded parking attendants. I've decided to write this blog to keep you up to date on my experiences on hopefully becoming a male midwife, the highs and lows, and hopefully a lot of laughs. The next blog I will let you know if I've heard anything, and how college is going.

A Male Midwife? Now there's an ambition I've never considered!
I'd have thought (off hand and in total ignorance) that some women might find that hard to accept. Hopefully I'm wrong. Good luck regardless. Oh, and I'll be seeking my wife's view later. No doubt she'll soon put me right!
James.
