I was accepted as a student midwife under a Certified Professional Midwife, who was allowed to take student midwives that were following the PEP program through NARM, in 2006. Followed the PEP guidelines and have now moved on to the Preceptor portion where I work as a Primary Midwife under my Preceptor, Jill Colin, CPM. Prior to undertaking my own clients I learned all of the skills of caring for women before, during, and after their childbearing year. Part of my training included: counseling on newborn care, breast feeding, birth control, child rearing, circumcision counseling, immunization counseling, natural healing, nutrition, exercise, smoking, drugs and alcohol counseling, etc. The attending of various births I have observed how to handle and overcome the following: shoulder dystocia (stuck shoulders), VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean), maternal hemorrhage, retained placenta, cord wrapped around baby’s neck, meconium stained amniotic fluid, twins, posterior presentation, frank breech presentation, depressed infants, various perineal and labial tears, prolapsed cervix, caput and hematoma of babies and hematoma of mother’s perineum.
