A midwife - the definitions

Abstract:

As a student I felt it very important to be able to quote the definition of a midwife. It gave me a sense of stability, a base from which to work. This was where education was taking me. That definition was learned word for word from our main midwifery text, "Mayes Midwifery, a Textbook for Midwives" (1988)... I still believe in the importance of a definition for midwifery. However, I no longer can quote this definition word for word. The definition, like midwifery itself, is flexible, personal, and ever changing.
