Sorry I didn't see your response before I replied.
Perhaps catch up with you at the next ASIM meeting?
Cheers

Subject:[ozmidwifery] Sydney BMid Student needing support
Hi
�
I'm a mature aged second year BMid student at UniSA. One of our younger students moved to Adelaide from Tasmania last year to do the course. She is a really lovely, mature, perceptive girl and has been very supportive of fellow students (including me) through various traumas.� Given all the changes she had to manage last year,I think she did really well, but recruiting follow throughs was a problem for her. Part of the problem was lack of networks, and part her youth - and that she looks quite young.
�
This year she will probably be living around Parramatta NSW. So yet again, she is in a new state, with no networks, and limited access to the pregnant women she desperately needs.
�
Sophie & I discussed emailing this group. I am sending the email because she felt a little self conscious�doing self-promotion�and I can probably say nice things about her that she would hesitate to say about herself! She is keen, open to learning, really sweet (making that comment makes me feel old!). She is aware of her limitations. And because of her lack of networks, she really needs help to get those follow through women to meet course requirements.
�
I believe she has joined the homebirth group in an attempt to meet some pregnant women. I have spoken to my family in Sydney, but was hoping that some of you in Sydney (esp western and nth-western!) might be able to help her. Advice, ideas, or pregnant women would be wonderful. Is anyone able to take her under their wing? What are good/bad hospitals to approach. Are there any people she should contact?
�
Many thanks
