Anyone retrained as a midwife, particularly from teaching?

Been a teacher for over 10 years.

Has anyone retrained as a midwife? Pros/ cons? How did you find the essay writing? Bit anxious to do this again after a long while out.

Don’t know if you’ve had a look at any of these threads, @prayforthecottransfer ? They might provide a jumping off point:
