    This article highlights the need for midwives to access and receive support and self-care when looking after families who themselves need support. The nature of being pregnant and giving birth means that there is a multitude of unknowns for the woman and her family. Every midwife works in situations which range from wonderful to unpredictable and tragic; how does she cope with that? What mechanisms and resources does she have to be proficient and competent as well as caring, compassionate and remain professional in such a changeable job? Two midwife hypnotherapists have been working and helping midwives and student midwives since 2009. They are addressing midwives' need to do all that, raising awareness of the resources needed and showing why this attitude works whilst preserving good health and preventing burnout. They are currently working with student midwives in-house around the UK.
