Abstract
Midwives in recent times have expanded their skill set beyond recognition. Where once it appeared novel to complete a newborn examination, now we are being trained in external cephalic version (ECV) and caesarean section checks on elective cases. All these additional roles come with advantages and disadvantages for both midwives and women. As midwives we may get job satisfaction, but are there not already enough pressures on our time? It feels like we are in the midst of creating a somewhat ‘super midwife’. Someone who can perform the most detailed checks on women and babies, prescribe everything and be a one stop shop.
