Hi all mothers to be,
My name is Alicia and I am a UQ midwifery student. As part of my program I am required to follow 10 women through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood in a follow through program. I am currently looking for 4 wonderful women to help me help mothers to be by joining the program. As part of the program I will be required to:
*attend roughly 5 antenatal appointments (midwifery appointments/ obs appointments/ any other meeting with a health care professional)
*your birth
*visit you twice in hospital after your baby is born to see how you are going postnatally.
The aim of the followthrough program is to teach midwifery students about continuity of care, and so far I have had positive feedback from all of the women I have followed. Many of them have stated that having someone familiar at their birth has been quite comforting. Our role in your pregnancy will be that of a support person. I will not take over the roles of your health care team.
I am currently seeking women with an estimated due date between 24 April 2012 and June 6 2012.
If you are interested and would like more information PLEASE contact me so I can get in touch smile
Thanks
Alicia
