>>Anyway, I hope my current perspective as a student is helpful.Jen 3rd year BMid, Melbourne   Thanks Jen for sharing. It is such a shame that there is not the opportunity for practice of the theory you are learning. I was just recently talking to a friend about that. She had brought it up after watching a discussion on the BMid list.   I often even wonder what is "normal" in our society, as in "Abby, I think the high standards that ACMI has set for us help ensure that we do know normal.  Granted, this is still the hospital setting, but until community midwifery is more widely available to women & midwives, the reality is that the majority of student midwives cannot gain experience in this setting."   Is normal natural? (Just asking the question out loud)   Love Abby
