Crown Princess Mette-Marit thanked midwives for their work, marking International Day of the Midwife on Wednesday.
In a video message shared on the Norwegian Royal Family’s YouTube page, Crown Princess Mette-Marit said, “Midwives have one of the most important jobs in the world. You help at the beginning of life and ensure security and professionalism in one of the most vulnerable life situations for both mother and child.
“Everything is at stake.”
She continued, noting the challenges of midwifery and pointing out that they are always present and that their work “is about so much, among other things, it is about seeing everyone just as they are.”
