Call the famous midwife! After giving birth to five children, Jools Oliver practices giving birth for other mothers

She has given birth to five children over the past two decades and is preparing to celebrate a milestone birthday.

But for Jools Oliver, it’s never too late to follow her dreams as she trained to become a midwife at the age of 49.

The former model and wife of chef Jamie Oliver revealed she was encouraged to take a course two years ago.

“Everyone was saying, ‘There’s still time, it’s time to do it.’ It’s been two years now, it should have been done in a year, that’s very me,” she said .

“Ideally, I would like, I think, to just want to hold newborns left, right and center. It’s the dream job, catching newborns.

Ms Oliver, whose children range in age from seven to 21, told the Postcards From Midlife podcast how she regretted choosing modeling over midwifery when she was younger.

“I didn’t really get a lot of advice,” she said. “I would have liked to go straight to university and become a midwife.

“That would definitely be the job I would still be doing now and I think I probably would have been pretty good at it.”

In 2019, Ms Oliver admitted she wanted another baby and the couple had tried IVF.

Two years later, she said she had suffered five miscarriages after trying to have a fifth child, one of which was nearly fatal.

“I felt guilty because I had four children and I thought I couldn’t tell people about my miscarriages,” she said.

To qualify, Ms Oliver will need to complete a university degree in midwifery or a midwifery apprenticeship.
