Support during pregnancy and birth

[katemid]

Hi everyone, My name is Kate and I'm a midwifery student in Melbourne. Midwifery means 'with women' and as part of my studies I do 'follow through journeys' with expectant mums. What does this mean? That I can be your own personal student midwife and follow your progress through the journey of pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of motherhood. The benefit to you? You get to develop a one on one supportive relationship, proven by research to be beneficial in positive pregnancy and birth outcomes. I am friendly, honest and caring and love working as a midwife, so if you are interested in extra support during this wonderful stage of life than please PM me. I look forward to hearing from you, Kate

Hi Kate,

I'm not in Melb, and already have my birth support team organised, but I just wanted to wish you well. I had a student MW with my first birth and as my "regular" two midwives worked in tandem I only saw each one every second visit, so for me having a student at ALL visits provided me great continuity and we had a much better rapport at the end than I did with the two middies. When I went into labour, it was student who helped me the most, even though she didn't do any baby catching etc.

Cheers,
Nonny
