12. Choosing a student midwife to support you

In this episode, Elysia and Alice discuss the role of a student midwife and why you might choose one to provide additional (and free) support to you in pregnancy, birth and postpartum. We discuss what’s involved, what some evidence says about the physical and emotional outcomes, and how you can find the right student for you.
