ADELAIDE MIDWIFERY STUDENTS!
I'm looking for support throughout my pregnancy and labour. I'm really desperate to find someone who is supportive, calm under pressure, willing to come to all appointments, labour with me at home for as long as possible (If I'm lucky enough to not need inducing this time!) and be with me/us during the birth at WCH. Our first baby will be 20 months old and as we are self-employed my husband will need to be at home with him most of the time so I really need a support person!!
My last pregnancy went 11 days over after 5 failed attempts at induction. My labour came on fast and furiously and after already having been in hospital for 2 full days beforehand we were both completely exhausted before it had even began :$
My 'natural birth' plan was thrown out the window pretty quickly- I never got in to the bath and I had an epidural early on. I struggled pushing for 4 hours before needing forceps to deliver my 4.14kg bubs.
I didn't click with my midwife (I was in the SMGP at Flinders) and was pleased when her 12hr shift was up and she needed to change over with another midwife. My new midwife brought with her a brilliant student who made my whole experience soooo much easier!!
I know heaps of u have left messages on here already, I've read them all, but I would like u to approach me if u feel up to the challenge :)
I have already been assigned a student but feel as though we don't 'click'. I am meeting with her at the end of august at an appt where I will decide for sure whether she's a keeper.....
I'm 13 weeks pregnant today and have put my name down for Group Practice again (fingers crossed!). I am delivering at WCH and all of my appts are on Tuesdays. I live in the western suburbs of Adelaide, am 24 and really would love a bubbly, confident, eager student!!
I am aiming for a natural birth again, have been doing lots of strength training and am about to start meditation, all in preparation for the labour.
I'm also not fussed where u are at with ur studies and although I want everything done my way :) I am willing to offer u full involvement at every stage and hope u can learn heaps from me and my pregnancy!
Hope I'm not asking too much........ If ur keen pls PM or reply.
