I am filling in my application to CATCH this evening to study at Bell college ( or University of the West of Scotland as it is now) Am I bonkers?

No, I don't think you are. I think it's a wonderful profession to choose! It is a highly competitive to get into, as I'm sure you're aware, and the competition for jobs is fierce, too. But aren't all the best careers like this?

i think its great, i was planning to do it 2 years ago, then dc4 arrived so i have had to put the plan on the back burner for a while

No you're definitely not bonkers, I'm in my first year of midwifery and although its hard I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Go for it and let us know how you get on. Good luck.

I'd say you're only slightly bonkers. I have qualified in July : Hurrah! and I did it with 2 dc's ds was 2.5 at the start and dd was 6m. So it's possible for sure but much harder work than I had EVER anticipated, so brace yourself when you start the rollercoaster ride that is midwifery training.
You should have a look at the student midwives sanctuary. There's lots of help on there. It helped me through some of the downs that's for sure!
