student midwife wanted for home birth

[luckymama]

Hi there
was just wondering if there was any student midwifes out there who can do home births? Or even not a student, if this cant be done.
I know i am leaving it quite late, but my DH has finally agreed to pay for one.
I am already booked into a hosp and am going to my appointments. I would really like a midwife mostly just for the birth and for a few app before, if this is possible,
Thanks so much
Oh and how much would this be, thanks

Whereabouts are you?
Don't get excited, I'm not a doula but it would be helpful to know where you're located for those members who are.

Sorry I misread your OP...
were you wanting a student Doula or a student midwife?
I'm just looking at a website now which has a list of names/areas they cover but they're Doulas/Birth Attendants.

thanks mamaduke, am wanting a student midwife. But DH and i reading a website, and looking into an unassisted homebirth, as midwifes are sooo expensive, hence why we were looking for a student.

my sis (who is a student midwife) says student midwives would steer clear - in fact, I think theyre told specifically that they CANT do it

no worries, i should close this thread actually now, we have decided to do UC.
Mods please close this thread, cheers. :)
