I had one - wasn't asked, her shift started when I was 8cm dilated and she and the other midwife were just introduced to me. tbh, I found the student to be lovely and caring, very friendly, and she prevented more interventions for me by helping me move off my back during monitoring, plus she gave me loads of encouragement. I would certainly want her again!

She didn't do any internals - I only had one - but saw everything and I appreciated the teaching as I learnt more about what my body was doing naturally - I didn't think about it, but could hear that it was the right thing!
