Manchester, England's Linda Fairley spent forty years delivering babies and saving women dealing with complicated pregnancies."Delivering my first baby is a memory that will stay with me forever. Just feeling the warmth of a newborn head in your hands, that new life, there’s honestly nothing like it… I’ve since brought more than 2,200 babies into the world, and I still tingle with excitement every time."
From Fairley's beginnings as a trainee nurse at the Manchester Royal Infirmary at just 18 years old, to her present-day position working two days a week as a community midwife for Tameside Hospital, The Midwife's Here! recounts the fascinating life story of a woman performing one of the most essential medical occupations of our time.
