Midwife Morven Fioretti on the challenges and delights of birthing babies in the Scottish Highlands…
Midwife Morven Fioretti witnesses the miracle of life every day, so you could understand if she took it for granted. But working in the remote Scottish Highlands, with expectant mothers often many miles from the nearest maternity ward, there’s never a dull moment.
C5’s new three-part documentary series The Highland Midwife, voiced by former Call the Midwife star Pam Ferris, reveals the reality of rural midwifery.
‘It’s never mundane. Every time I deliver a baby, knowing how much has taken place for that baby to be born, it is still amazing,’ says Morven.
‘I’ve been a midwife for 23 years, 21 of them in Tain, Scotland. That’s about 100 people a year – roughly over 2,000 people I’ve looked after!’
