My student midwife was great. I was induced so she just sat there, we all made polite chit chat nothing was really happening... Then when suddenly it all began my husband said she jumped right in & did what she could ( telling me to breathe, comforting me...) I don't really remember her doing these things but she did. I do remember getting on the floor on all fours and laying my head in someone's lap which ended up being my birthing position and once the final push was over I looked up & realised it was her lap I had been leaning on, her hand i was squashing & her ear I had been screaming in... My husband was just at the back not doing all that much!! (for some reason I don't seem to like him at the moment I'm giving birth!!)
I could not have gone drug free without her & my real midwife
