Hi Mum of twins! It is a very supportive role that the student takes on and we go to as many of your antenatal and postnatal appointments as possible and the birth if you are comfortable with that. Absolutely no problems if you are under the high risk team as two of my ladies are and they have found it really good having me as it was really hard giving up their mw and having different people see them a lot of the time so having a familiar face with them has been somewhat calming from what they tell me!. It is totally all about you and is an opportunity for the student to view pregnancy and birth through your eyes whilst giving you support. Let me know if you are keen and I can pass your details onto my student facilitator who can call you to discuss it further. You also have total control over whether or not the student attends procedures and appointments so if there is a time where you feel uncomfortable about having the student present you can ask her to leave. I have been in your situation, having been transferred to the high risk team myself in my pregnancy so can understand how you feel and if it's any consolation, they are brilliant there and will take good care of you and bubs.
