Hi everyone, :wave:

I am a mum to two beautiful children and a student midwife at ACU in Melbourne.

ACU Student Midwives take part in “The Follow Through Journey” program. As part of the program students need to spend time with pregnant women who are approximately halfway through their pregnancy. “The Follow Through Journey” allows the women to have one on one support and to share her pregnancy and birth experience with a student. As student midwives we are backed up and supported by experienced midwife mentors who have a wealth of knowledge and are available to answer any questions we might have regarding our follow through women.

If you would like a “one on one” supportive relationship during your pregnancy, birth and early post natal weeks and you are willing to share your experiences of pregnancy and childbirth with a midwifery student I would love to hear from you.
The level of student involvement is controlled by the follow through woman. Whether it is to discuss the progress of your pregnancy, attended appointments or ante-natal classes or pregnancy seminars, the choice is the woman’s.

I would love to hear from any women/girls who might be interested.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about the Follow Through Journey program or better still if you think you might like to be a part. :yelclap:
Thanks

I decided to contact my local uni to ask if they needed a pregnant mum to follow through and i met my student middie yesterday. I just want to say, mums this is such a beautiful opportunity for you and for the student. I love my student midwife already and it will be great to have the extra support, eps considering what a tough time i had with hospital staff in the past.

so yeah, good luck studentmidwifey! i would highly recommend that mums take up your offer.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Owen&Noah's_mum, hope you have a wonderful pregnancy and birth and hospital staff give you the support and birth experience you want and need this time.

Thanks again for giving a student the opportunity to follow you through your pregnancy.

Good Luck to you and your student!
