Some do longer than that. A three-year apprenticeship is pretty common if you're doing academics and a true apprenticeship. My view of that was we are not painting walls where I can go back if I use the wrong color and redo that or touch up the corners because I didn't do it well enough. These are people's lives and this is a very serious thing. You're holding lives in your hands.

I have a bachelor's degree and I taught for several years before entering the birth world. And so education is very important to me. And I told her that and I said, I understand that this looks like a good plan. But again, like these are people's lives. And so I don't have respect for you in doing this. And I'm not going to do that. And, you know, she was Gina.

She was very loving and friendly and like, I just wanted to let you know that this was an option. I mean, it's going to be really hard if you work with the other midwife. We left with it feeling like we were on good terms, but I did not feel good about her and who she was anymore. Within the next day or two, I talked to Caitlin about it and said, I can't believe this.

Why would you even want to do this? And she agreed with me. And then two weeks later, Caitlin was then following her track and going to births with Gina and Gina's preceptor. So it was a pretty natural separation. That was pretty much the end of a friendship with both of them.

a view of watching Caitlin at that point go through an apprenticeship very quickly, use a start date on her student midwife forms of a doula birth that she went to with me to shadow me as a doula. That was the very first birth she'd ever attended. So I knew the date and I called NARM and asked about that. And they said, oh, that's no problem. She can put that date.

I said, even if I know it was a doula birth and they said,

yes that's fine even if she gets done in nine months they said yes that's fine so i sat back and went through a three-year apprenticeship and finished academics and it was very difficult she went through that so quickly and is making all this money in the successful birth center that was difficult on a personal level for me but also on the professional level of knowing there are going to be people who suffer from this

I just thought, how long will it take before this can be stopped? And that's really when I started figuring out there were not many places to go to or people to go to. So that was a really hard thing to go through knowing I was becoming a part of that community.
