   As some of you know I am studying Child birth education, this will enable me to teach parents centre courses next year like the antenatal class. This is something I am so excited about and is a great stepping stone towards midwifery, which I would like to do once my family has grown up and gone to school.

Since my antenatal classes with Quinn, I felt that this is something I wanted to do and after helping on many Parents centre courses I am sure that this is a perfect career path for me.

As part of this course I have to attend 4 births ( one of them is to be a home birth). This is to help in my understanding of the birthing process and to help me feel more confident in my ability to teach parents about labour and birth. 

As a labour support person I only have to be there – I can hide in the corner or I can heat up the towels and fill up water bottles. I can have as small or large role in the birth and that is completely the family choice as to what part they want me to play.

I had a student midwife during the birth of Quinn and I found it so helpful to have another set of hands and ears. She also took the photos of Quinn as he was coming into this world and I am so thankful for her being with us.

If you feel that having the support of an enthusiastic and willing student is something your family would consider, please email me and I can discuss it with you further.

Thanks, Laura.
