Also, you may need to turn the volume down near the end. I’m not sure what happened when I was editing 🙈

I now DEFINITELY see why the gave you the job you seem so positive and chill also very kind I can’t wait to get old enough to start my midwifery journey!🤗
I’m starting Midwifery in September, thank you so much for such amazing videos, they’re so helpful and informative 🙏
Olivia Steventon I am in high school, and I was wondering if you need Calculas/ Chemistry to become a midwife?
Aww, I’m glad you enjoy the. and that they are helpful
Hi Louisa I love your videos, I'm so sorry that you're in a bad head space right now I hope you feel better soon
Hi, that’s sweet. I filmed this back in February so I’m fine now but thank you for the concern. I hope you are staying safe in this crazy time xx
Being Louisa I appreciate your reply I’m glad you’re feeling better ❤
Ahh this is making me miss my placement so much :(( absolutely love watching your journey! Hope you're staying safe xx
Thank you! You too. My first shift back on placement is next week. I cannot wait xx
Wait what? Did your placements get canceled because of coronavirus? We got extra placement instead of lessons because the school was closed
Midwifery is such a great profession. ☺️
Love your videos! I’m starting Midwifery on Monday and your vids have been helping tonnes on giving me an idea of what things are going to be like. Please keep on uploading ☺️
Aww that’s awesome! I’m so glad they have helped you 💕
Lovely to see you back 💓 Hope you got some sleep x
Nice to see you back in action
As you are not in practice currently can you do some reflecting videos on your midwifery journey or any storytimes of births??
I actually am back in practice now but I already have a few story time videos about placement and births throughout the years
is it true that midwifery lessons are moving mainly back to kingston instead of st.georges? Will there still be a sharing of campuses or will there only be one?
I’m not sure about the sharing of campuses but they definitely have moved mostly over to Kingston now. The lectures even moved their offices to Kingston Hill
Hey! I've been loving your channel recently, it has been so helpful throughout my process of applying to study midwifery!
May I ask, how do you overall feel about your course at Kingston, like the quality of teaching, support, and facilities? would you recommend it and would you choose it again? I have offers from Uni of Kingston & Uni of Surrey but really conflicted about which to choose as they both have pros and cons - and sadly I can't look around the unis in person because of COVID! Thank you xxx
Hey, thank you! I’m so happy the videos have been helpful!
That’s a challenging question as every module is taught differently, however, you will always have someone you can talk to to get advise on an assignment or exam. The lecturers can be really helpful both inside and outside of class. I probably would choose Kingston all over again. Plus, they are now moving the majority of teaching back over to the Kingston campus so it might even be better for skills training. I hope that’s helpful xx
Hi! I’m starting a midwifery course this September which I’m super excited about but I have always wanted to go travelling, I was planning to save over the next three years and once qualified take a year gap before I start work, is this a viable plan or would it be best to start work as soon as possible after I’m qualified?
Katy Dewar, what A Levels did you choose to do in Sixth Form/ College? Just trying to get an idea of what I should pick x
Haemma Maduako hi! I’m from Scotland so I done Highers and advanced highers over S5 and S6 while I was at school. I took human biology, English, religious, moral and philosophical studies(RMPS), health and food technology (HFT), health and social care (through the YASS module),physical education and business management and a few more but those are the ones that helped me most for midwifery
Haemma Maduako heya! Sorry to hijack but honestly look at what unis are asking for as some don’t take certain alevels x
I took biology, history and Spanish which was good for York, UEA, Nottingham, Southampton, Chester and Surrey (these were what I looked into). I believe most unis just want biology or something similar (such as health and social etc) ❤️ good luck on your journey.
It depends on how confident you are in your skill knowledge after the 3 years and if you think you will be okay to take a year off. I personally wouldn’t be able to but that’s because I work best with a routine!
i really love ur vlog, and im a midwifery student from Indonesia. greatings and u r so pretty :)
Sama, aku juga suka chanel ini.... Suka cara bicaranya...
This is the second video i watch from your channel! I love it😍♥️ I wonder if you are still at Middlesex University how is the experience there cause I’m applying for fall 2021
I never went to Middlesex university. I got to Kingston university
Hi Louisa, I love your channel. I'm a 2nd midwifery student going into my third year September.
Why do you wear the gloves in the mornings?
Because I have strange hands that sometimes feel as if I carpal tunnel syndrome and they help
Hey, I got an offer at south bank do you suggest that I prepare some learning beforehand like basic knowledge for instance the female reproductive system or do you think I should use this time to relax
It’s totally up to you as I’m not sure what they teach you there in first year. If you want to probably you could go over basic anatomy and physiology a couple of weeks before uni starts so that it doesn’t completely confuse you in lectures
Loved this !!!
hi louisa, i have just accepted my uncondtional offer to study midwifery at Kingston University! watching your videos have inspired me so much and i honestly cannot wait to begin the course! i was just wondering, how many weeks off do you get per year? as well as when ur not on placements, are you at university every single day? thankyou
I went to Kingston, we were in 4-5 days a week at uni and had 2 weeks off at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and 3 weeks off in summer. Well done on your offer :)
Jasmine Usoro-Brown thankyou so much !
Me too ! I’ll be going to Kingston in September x they said we get 7 weeks off a year
When we are at university it’s every day mon-fri 10am until 4pm
Ally Wilson ahh i’ll see you there then! x
HI! just came across your video from nurses.co.uk. I wanted just to ask a question, do you have adult nurse working in maternity ward? I know that an adult nurse can work in neonatal, so I was wondering if midwives and nurses work together in maternity setting. Thank you in advance and love your video, good luck for your 3rd year.
Hi, no I’m afraid we don’t work with adult nurses
Hey out of no where I’ve found fascination towards midwifery and might study or next year . Did you do placement in first and second year and do you do placement throughout the entire academic year or for a few weeks ?
Yes you do placement in first and second year. I have some videos on my channel you can watch from my first and second year. And every university does their midwifery course differently. Some will have placement and university in the same week, whereas my university has blocks of placement and uni. So a couple of weeks at uni and then 3-6 weeks on placement
Okay- I’m honestly so late to this video but I’m super confused on what to do and am wanting to do midwifery. How many days a week does a midwife work?
It depends. You will do either 3-4 long days on the ward which is 12.5 hours or 4 10 hour shifts in community
How many days a week do you have to go on placement
If doing 12.5 hour hospital shifts then 3 days a week, sometimes 4 days. And then in community it’s 4 days a week
love your channel, what year of uni are you in?
Thank you. I’m in third year
Re they paid same salary as the nurses
Are you on placement everyday 😫, like go you have time to yourself ?
3-4 days a week
How long does it take before you become a fully qualified midwife x
It’s a 3 year degree here in the UK. However, if someone is a nurse then it is an 18 month course
Hi louisa....i like your video...
Hey, thanks
Hello Luisa just wondering if you can check your Instagram inbox thanks
