Carol Duncombe worked as a midwife for a long time, mostly in the community but had hospital experience too. She delivered over 2000 babies throughout her time as a midwife. This is her second book. The stories here are true and show the variety of families that a midwife may meet during her career.
Carol Duncombe was born to Frank and Babs in Northampton. She has four siblings – two brothers and two sisters. She started her nursing career when she was 18. She has worked as a midwife for 45 years and delivered over 2000 babies. She retired last year and now spends her time helping out at a local school. She’s been married to Richard for 45 years.
More Memoirs Of A Midwife by Carol Duncombe is a fascinating account of the life of a community midwife.
Having read Carol Duncombe’s first book, I knew I was going to be in for a real treat with this one. Carol Duncombe certainly knows how to tell a tale. She engages the reader from the start with her personable, chatty style. She writes as if she is sat beside you, regaling the tale.
As a midwife for over forty years Carol Duncombe has a wide variety of stories. Some are sad, most are happy, some are bizarre and some are absolutely hilarious – I shall never forget the pet parrot who cheered on the mum having a home birth! I was literally laughing until the tears poured down my cheeks!
This is a wonderful book that will entertain and enthral. Thank you Carol Duncombe for sharing your vast variety of tales.
