Star, I also had a student midwife with my first labour and she was lovely. They told me about her when I arrived at the delivery suite and I didn't even give it a second thought. She was there during the delivery and to be honest, I didn't even know who was in the room lol!!! But after, she was very hands on with the baby and my care. Do what feels right for you and I am sure you'll make the right decision. Best of luck.
