From 26:55 we also have a follow up interview with male student midwife and dad Ritchie. We first met Ritchie earlier this year when we played his interview recorded at the Midwifery Today Conference in Byron Bay in November 2014. Ritchie is an officer in the navy and is looking to make the career transformation to homebirth midwifery next year.
Recorded via Skype from Singapore, so please excuse the sound quality.
