In the run-up to the NHS's 70th birthday, head of maternity, children and young people at NHS England professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent urged young people to consider the ‘uniquely rewarding’ career.
She added that midwives and parents should share their stories, showing support for the profession, which touches the lives of many families across the country.
She said: "The NHS was set up to deliver care from the cradle to the grave, and midwives are privileged to be part of what is for most a special journey and precious moment in time.
"Midwifery is a uniquely rewarding profession and I'd like to thank the extraordinary people who have helped the NHS deliver an astonishing 50 million babies over the last 70 years.
"In the NHS today, women giving birth can expect to have a safer and more personalised maternity care experience, while the average baby born can expect to live into their eighties."
In March, the health and social care secretary Jeremy Hunt announced a range of measures for England's maternity services, including a plan to train more than 3000 extra midwives over four years.
