Midwife simulator

Lotte, 28, starts her first month at a neighborhood midwifery practice, a verloskundigenpraktijk, in Amsterdam. She sets a life goal to open her own community clinic with an old classmate from the AVAG midwifery college. Each morning, she adds prenatal visits to her daily to-do list.

She uses place search to travel to a client's apartment street for a home checkup. In open text chat, she talks through measuring the fundal height and listening to the heartbeat with a Pinard horn. Later, her classmate texts her to plan an outing for herbal tea at a cafe near Vondelpark. The client remembers Lotte's calm advice and texts her three days later when contractions start.

In London, Clara starts her morning in the East End district of Poplar. She checks her calendar and walks on the 3D map to the Royal London Hospital for a 12-hour shift. Outside the hospital, she meets an expectant mother and father to talk through their birth plan.

During the afternoon, Clara coaches the parents through contractions and checks dilation and effacement in their story chat. After they welcome the baby and check the APGAR score, Clara updates her to-do list. In the evening, she joins a group text thread with hospital coworkers and goes to a birthday drinks happening. The day ends with a recap of her moments, and her cash and relationships update.

LifeSim has no pregnancy system or medical mini-games, so every checkup and birth lives in the story you write. You can start as a student at King's College London or Columbia University in New York City. You edit your cast to add a supervising midwife, a clinic partner, and expectant parents.

Because people keep a journal of past events, your patients remember how you supported them months or years ago. As time moves day by day, your character ages through life stages. Twenty years later, a young woman can walk up to your clinic and remind you that you caught her at birth.

Midwifery brings pager anxiety from 24/7 on-call rotations and missed family dinners. When a client texts you at midnight during a home birth, you can skip a house party happening to answer. If you miss a promise to your partner at home, they remember it the next day.

You can also play out seconds-count emergencies at a freestanding birthing center, such as Brooklyn Birthing Center in New York City. When fetal heart tones drop on the Doppler monitor, you keep the panicking parents steady during a hospital transfer. You talk to the surgical team at Bellevue Hospital and advocate for the mother's wishes.
