It’s like having your very own pregnancy assistant.
Nobody should have to explain their birth plan between contractions. Your student midwife already knows you, your story, your preferences, the small stuff. So when the day comes, there's a familiar face by your side.
4 in 5 students reply when a mum reaches out.
Every Australian midwifery student spends part of their degree following a small number of women through pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks after. It’s how they learn the heart of the job, and it’s where a lot of mums find extra support they didn’t know was available.
Universities and hospitals may set differing scopes and rules. MidwithMe is not affiliated with universities or hospitals.
Most mums find their student between confirmation of pregnancy and before 28 weeks. Joining later still works as most students will gladly come on board even in the third trimester.
Four short steps to connect with a student midwife who can support you through your entire maternity journey.
Tell us a little about you and your pregnancy. Takes about two minutes.
Browse student midwives near you, send a few connection requests, and chat with the ones who feel right.
Once you've found the student you click with, you can pair up. They can then support you through the whole journey.
Meet your student face to face when you're ready, and let your supportive journey together begin.

You got into midwifery to care for women, not to spend your placement breaks handing out flyers and competing in Facebook groups. Build a profile mums can actually find based on your preferences - and let the right connection find you both.
It leaves the pressure off and really allows for genuine connection.

Pregnancy is deeply personal. From the moment you sign up to the last message after birth, your privacy and safety come first.
Conversations are end-to-end encrypted. They stay between you and your student midwife. Always.
Pregnant women browse anonymously. Students only see your details after you reach out first.
Your data stays on Australian servers, protected by Australian privacy law.
I had Maddi as my own student midwife following my pregnancy through MidwithMe. It was so awesome just in the first few weeks. I ended up in hospital on Maddi's first appointment, and they were a wonderful source of support.
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.
Their story is still unfolding. We'll share it here once bub is a little older.
"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 have been dying for an organisation like this. I cannot tell you how beyond grateful I am. This app is perfect and just what we as students and mums looking to have a student needed. It is PERFECT!"
"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 just as eager as myself for a follow through experience. As a fourth year student, this has helped me tremendously."
"Easy way to connect with many student midwives."
"I really enjoyed connecting through a passive, non-judgemental space. It leaves the pressure off and really allows for genuine connection, especially because it's on the women's terms."
"MidwithMe is a great initiative which will encourage the midwifery industry to further evolve."
"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!"
"MidwithMe is a great opportunity for student midwives to connect with mums. It's offered tremendous help to students like myself looking to recruit women in what can be a competitive environment. I love that mums have a say in who they pick as they will be following them for quite a bit of the journey."
"I have absolutely loved working with Juanita and Nick. They have connected me with so many mums and it's resulted in wonderful follow through experiences. It's incredibly hard to find follow through mums as a student. Streamlining it into an app will make the process so much better for everyone."
"To recruit CoCE women without the stress of having to compete with hundreds of other students."
It started with a conversation on our back verandah in our Melbourne home. A mother and son with one stubborn question: why is continuity of care so hard to actually get?
It shouldn't be this hard. Not for something this important.
We are not reinventing care. We are not reinventing support. We are just making it easier.
Today MidwithMe connects pregnant women with student midwives across Australia, for free.
Tomorrow, it connects doulas, midwives, obstetricians, lactation consultants, allied health, every supporter and provider. To collaborate in delivering the highest standard of continuity of care. All surrounding and advocating for the woman at the centre.
Care and support every woman can discover, understand, access, and personalise. The maternity journey you choose. The one you deserve.
You are shaping this. Every story, every conversation, every voice. That's what guides us. The goal is yours: a maternity journey built around you.
Juanita has spent thirty-five years as a registered nurse and clinical educator, training more than 80,000 healthcare clinicians along the way.
Nick is an industrial designer and entrepreneur who has worked with global giants, and has dedicated his life to designing a better world. Yes, he'll never be pregnant, but he's building this for his mum, his future wife, his future daughters, and for yours too.
But this isn't about us. This is about you.
