Tanya glad to hear that others also advocate for students to follow women god knows the requirements of students to fulfil is hard enough without others assisting them to get follow throughs and births. Hope this woman gets the birth that she wants then without too much hassle cheers sharon

Thanks for that Sharon, this woman will have the services of a professional independent midwife at her side, as well as obstetric input, and her friend, and to be honest, I don’t actually think she needs a student. While I too advocate students for many women, in this instance, I think it may complicate things for her. She will have plenty of love and support, but unfortunately, as she won’t be arriving here in Adelaide until shortly before the birth, so she won’t have the opportunity to build a relationship with a student, thanks for the suggestion though :-) Tania _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sharon Sent: Saturday, 20 January 2007 10:28 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses... Tanya has your friend thought of having a midwifery student follow her as well. As midwives we should be advocating student midwives for all birthing women. When I work in antenatal clinic that is one service that I offer all women at first visit some take the offer others don’t. cheers sharon _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Ward Sent: Saturday, 20 January 2007 10:08 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses... If her friend is birthing at a hospital I would suggest she attends classes with her friend. Personally I don't think formal classes are necessary, just tune into inner self and feel comfortable with whatever is happening. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tania Smallwood Sent: Saturday, 20 January 2007 9:26 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses... I have a friend who is not a midwife, and she has been asked to be the labour support person at a close friend’s birth. She has birthed three times herself, twice at home, and is a lovely gentle, practical woman, who I’m sure will be perfect for the job. She feels that she’d like to have some kind of ‘formal’ training, even if it’s just a workshop, and I’m wondering if there is anything like that available here in Australia. She’d be fine with something online or via correspondence, but doesn’t really need to do the full doula course. I’ve suggested she attends some of the fine active birth workshops here in Adelaide that are run by the local yoga centres, and that appealed too. Any other ideas?
