Train a Midwife; £46

I love this picture - it's so calm without being saccharine, and the people are so real-looking without being very naturalistic.

Being a midwife must be stressful - ridiculously so at times, having the lives of a mother and a baby in your hands - but the flipside of that must be the chance to be there and be helping the miracle that is a new life being born every day of your working life. Amazing.

Since time immemorable women have had other women assist them at the birth of their children. This present will help train a midwife in an area where there may be few, or where traditional practises have not yet been enhanced by medical science's progress.
