Hello there!

I am a midwifery student in my third year of study at ACU and I'm looking for women who are 35-weeks pregnant or less who would be willing to have me come along to their pregnancy-related appointments as part of the Follow Through Program.

The aim of the program is for you to have the opportunity to receive a supportive one-on-one relationship throughout your pregnancy and to give us, the students, the unique opportunity to learn about pregnancy and birth first-hand from the women experiencing it.

I would spend about 10 hours with you over the course of time from when we first meet until about 6 weeks after the birth of your baby, and this can be made up by appointments, chats over coffee, and even the birth, but only if you are comfortable with that - it is completely up to you when and how we see each other. There are no other requirements from you, and you can pull out of the program at any time.

If you are interested, or know anyone else who might be interested, I’d love to hear from you! You can also contact the program coordinator Jane Morrow on 9953 3191 for more information.

Thanks for your interest and I hope to hear from you!
Lauren
