About

Welcome to Midwife and Life, it’s lovely to have you here.  What you’ll find is an interesting cocktail of pregnancy and parenting, my family life and my experiences, product and service reviews (anything and everything), blogging support and advice tailored towards fellow parent bloggers.  Jump in and take a look, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  I accept guest posts, particularly birth stories. My aim is to help women feel empowered about their pregnancy and birth (however it happens) and feel confident with their new baby.

About me:

I’m Jenny, I am a mother to three young children: William (born 2009) who has to be prised away from his computer, phone and PlayStation; Phoebe (born 2011) who’s feminine, determined, feisty and independent. She loves school, Harry Potter, books and makeup! Then there’s my whirlwind Daniel (born 2014 under the Christmas tree) who’s my baby and is the cutest, cheekiest little boy. He loves Minecraft, PlayStation, superheroes and Mummy. I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, who is wonderful despite my moans for 15 years with more than our fair share of ups and downs which has made us stronger as a couple.

I worked as a midwife for 14 years both in a hospital setting and in the community. I currently work as a Nurse part-time in a Nursing home and a blogger for the rest of the time. This way of life fits in with the children and home life plus it’s so rewarding. I am also an occasional TV and Film Extra and parent of course! I now mainly blog over at Life and the Lords, but this site stays open for the original content.
