Abstract

A midwifery degree consists of an even mix between theoretical load and student placement in an appropriate facility.1 I spent two years with a private practising midwife, completing my entire antenatal and postnatal placement hours with her, as well as most of my continuity of care experiences. In this article, I am taking you on my journey through long-term student placement with a private practising midwife.
