Student midwifes

[Pickles77]

How interesting, this is what I'm looking to do. Let's see how it goes? I like the fact one of the ladies said 'it's the hardest thing I've done bar giving birth' argh

Yes, I watching with interest!

Im also watching with interest.

Upto now its changing my mind about having a student midwife at the babies birth. I was dead against it before now I'm coming round to having a student present.

Me too. Even though I want to be a midwife I was against it. I have to say this newly qualified girl I really like. This is really strengthening my ambitions and confidence and I'm pg.
I'm so excited now!

I don't think the student should have given the parents that information, it should have come from someone qualified.

I agree lady that girl also looks like she has a love bite on her neck
I really like this girl

Yes it did give mixed messages to the parents didn't it? wouldn't give me a lot of confidence.

I had a student midwife in the room when I was giving birth and she was FAB - as good as the real one (who was brilliant).

However, there was another student midwife who used to accompany the community midwife and she really irritated me; was so absentminded she took measurements then forgot to record them and had to take them again etc.

Looking forward to the programme!

It would have confused the parents. I'd have said that I didn't know and that the midwife would be along in a minute.

Exactly 'I can't diagnose as I'm a student' would have done.
Neo natal upsets me, my mum is crying now as I was born at thirty weeks

She made a mistake, first day on the ward. It happens.

I feel sorry for this 2nd year student - I hope she can cut it.

for your mum Pickles77 but happy you are here to write that post

Me too, proves it works. Mum says she had brilliant student midwifes
This is a nice prog.
I'm not sure about this second year student, I do understand about her feeling under pressure though

They should have taught her about what she can and can't say before she went onto the ward.

I don't think it's looking good for the second year. Big error there. She seems lovely though.

The second year seema lovely.

Seems*

I thought she was going to faint

Watching this too. I'm nearly 25 weeks with DC1

Probably totally selfish but there is no way that I could bear anyone practicing internal exams or trying to break my waters. Particularly when i dont have a clue whats going on. Presume you can refuse all that?

The second year seems lovely but terrifies the wits out of me. Wat a terrible mistake that could have been.

I'm probably being totally PFBish.

She's passed!!! Oh I hope it clicks for her or third year will end her.

No I don't think you are shiney. I think I'm more inclined to let them even though it's my pfb as I want to train myself

I want jess to deliver my baby!!

She's a wonderful midwife.

Thanks Pickles - I'm sure you'll be fab and aware it's a very selfish attitude as everyone has to learn sometimes just not on my foof!

Awwwww!!!

I'm pleased the second year passed.

I'm 14weeks with my third dc and I don't thi nk I could allow someone to learn internals on me.

It might be different when I'm 40 weeks and some Tom,dick or Harry wants to av a look at my fanjo
But I don't think as a student hopefully I get this far I'd be offended if anyone said no step away from my fanjo missy
