Midwives go above and beyond when it comes to helping us have our babies so it’s only right that there’s a day to celebrate them.
And today (May 5TH) is the day!
Known as International Day of the Midwife, the event campaigns for more recognition of the profession. And the 2015 theme is “The World Needs Midwives Today More Than Ever.”
We thought we’d support this special day in one of the ways we love and that’s Call the Midwife inspired baby names for your little boy or girl.
This popular TV series – based in the 50s – has given a new lease of life to classic baby names with Cynthia, Jenny, Trixie and Camilla all getting a little revival off the back of the show.
Want something a little bit more old fashioned? Try Peggy, Dolly, Flora and Betty!
