hi all, i've just been asked whether i would mind having a student midwife be in charge of my care through pregnancy, labour, birth and post pregnancy. she would be supervised the whole way through by a qualified midwife but she would always be there hands on so to speak (i think this means she would deliver me?)
i have provisionally said yes since i realise how important it is for people to be trained, and she seemed really nice at the booking in appointment i had that she did with me (with the qualified midwife in the background). my main concern is that she will get left on her own to look after me and will do something wrong (especially worried about this during labour/delivery since this is my first and i'm not sure what should be happening).
can anyone give me any comment/advice on this, esp with respect to what i should be aware of/ask about if i do want to go ahead with it. thanks.
