FAQs

a

What is the Continuity of Care Experience (CoCE)?

CoCE’s offer Mums-to-be the unique opportunity to voluntarily participate in a program that pairs them with a Student Midwife throughout their pregnancy journey.
The program underpins the provision of woman-centred care and offers support and care throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and the early postpartum period. This relationship between Student Midwife and Mum-to-be helps to develop trust and familiarity.
Your Student Midwife will learn alongside you, providing support and midwifery care whilst supervised by experienced midwives.
As their knowledge and skills grow, they will become more involved in the care process.
a

So, what does the CoCE involve?

After pairing with a Student Midwife through MidwithMe, should you agree to participate in the CoCE with this student, you will be asked by the student to consider offering the student opportunities to accompany you through:
a. Antenatal Visits: Attending a minimum of 4 antenatal appointments with you.
b. Labour and Birth: Providing support during your labour and birth (if you’re comfortable with this).
c. Postnatal Visits: Completing at least 2 follow-up visits after your baby is born.
The requirements may differ slightly from university to university.
Once completed, the professional relationship with the student will conclude.

What are the benefits of the CoCE for Mums-to-be?

  • Build a relationship with a Student Midwife who will be a consistent source of support throughout your journey.
  • Receive reassurance from someone who is there to listen, observe, and assist under supervision.
  • Choose how and when the student participates in your care.
  • Enjoy the reassuring and regular contact with your student during your pregnancy, birth and after your baby is born.
a

When is the best time for a pregnant woman to join?

The ideal time frame for signing up with MidwithMe and connecting with a Student Midwife for the CoCE is from your pregnancy confirmation and up to 28 weeks.
This allows you the time to explore MidwithMe student profiles, find your perfect match and enables your chosen student to follow your journey more comprehensively.
This gives your student the best chance to fulfil their CoCE course requirements. However, Mums-to-be have joined as late as 32 weeks and successfully participated in the CoCE program.
a

Can I withdraw from the CoCE program?

Yes, at any time you are able to withdraw from the CoCE program.
We just ask that you kindly inform your Student & unpair with them inside the app.
You can remain on MidwithMe’s platform and continue benefiting from our app’s many features.
a

What are the benefits for Student Midwives?

  • The CoCE provides essential hands-on learning which includes gaining a deeper understanding of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum through the Mums-to-be perspective.
  • Developing midwifery skills such as time management, documentation, and patient relationships.
  • Experiencing various models of care and real-world clinical environments.

Real stories of what it means to be part of MidwithMe™

  • This is an amazing platform run by amazing people. The connections you form with the owners and the women they pair you with is great! It really goes back to the foundation of midwifery “being with woman”

    I made beautiful connections with mamas, and it was so easy to set up! All thanks to the help of Juanita and Nick who worked around the clock to connect me with mums who were just as eager as myself for a follow through experience.

    I seriously can’t recommend this enough – as a fourth year student, this has helped me tremendously.

  • Easy way to connect with many student midwives

    Vivianna
    Mum-to-be

  • I have really enjoyed my ability to connect with women through a passive non-judgemental place, it leaves the pressure of on the spot asking and really allows for connection, especially because it’s on the women’s [Mums-to-be] terms.

    Nikki
    TAS Student Midwife

  • MidwithMe is a great initiative which will encourage the midwifery industry to further evolve.

    Shayla
    Mum-to-be

  • I have been dying for an organisation like this to help us because it is so incredibly difficult to be able to recruit women. I cannot tell you how beyond grateful I am for this. It has helped so much with my stress in regard to recruiting women and the ones I have connected with have all been so lovely. I seriously cannot thank you enough, this app is perfect and just what we as students needed and mums looking to have a student needed. it is PERFECT!!!!

    Maddi
    VIC Student Midwife

  • Working with MidwithMe was amazing! It made finding great connections with mums super easy and took the competitiveness away! I felt I was able to build genuine connections with mums I met through this service. Really easy and simple to use – I really recommend it!

    Meghan
    QLD Student Midwife

  • MidwithMe is a great opportunity for student midwives to connect with mums. Its offered a tremendous help to students like myself  looking to recruit women in what can be a competitive environment. I love the idea of mums having a say in who they pick to be their student as they will be following them for quite a bit of the journey.

    Vanessa
    VIC Student Midwife

  • I have absolutely loved working with Juanita and Nick with this endeavour – they have connected me with so many mums looking to have a student and it’s resulted in wonderful follow through experiences. It’s incredibly hard to find follow through mums as a student, so I think Juanita and Nick’s idea of streamlining it into an app will make the process so much better both for mums looking to have a student and for the students ☺️

Maddi, Mel & Bub

I had Maddi as my own Student Midwife following my pregnancy through linking up with MidwithMe. It was so awesome just in the first few weeks that Maddi was on board. I ended up in hospital on Maddi’s first appointment she came to and she was a wonderful source of support.

A Mum & Son Duo With a Big Idea

Sitting on our back verandah at home in Melbourne we (Juanita and Nick), a Mum and Son duo, came up with the idea to empower Student Midwives and Mums-to-be to make deeper and easier connections for the Midwifery ‘Continuity of Care Experience’ program. By streamlining the process and focusing on building deeper and more nurturing CoCE relationships, we knew we could empower students and pregnant women to thrive, and create a ripple effect that positively impacts families, communities and the future Midwifery industry in its entirety.
