Hey everyone.

It's lovely to meet all of you.

I'm erin, I'm in my first year of my Bachelor of midwifery, and I heard this was a great site to hear about everything to do with my future career, and meet people.

As part of my course I have to have 20 'follow through journey's' over the three years. Which just means meeting pregnant women, less than 35 weeks along, and going to at least two ante-natal appointments and two post-natal appointments with them. Anything beyond that is completely up to the women. I act as extra support for you and your partner, just someone to talk to and ask questions and have a coffee with, if that's what you'd like. Someone to be your advocate, to give you support to have a pregnancy and birth that is right for you.

So... about me. I'm a lesbian, and saw this section, and thought how great it would be if any of you would like a student midwife with you for your pregnancy. Not as just a great opportunity to experience the diversity of women I will inevitably come across in my study and career. But also, hopefully being a lesbian, would maybe provide that extra support and understanding, and just an another person to be able to identify with. Not to mention, adding to a great knowledge base for other lesbians, and myself, when I have my own beautiful babies.

If anyone is interested or knows anyone who is, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for reading my little essay!
