Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of women involved with Bachelor of Midwifery students enrolled at Australian Catholic University (ACU), Victoria in a Follow Through Journey Program. The study incorporated an exploratory descriptive design utilising semi-structured interviews. Seven women participated in the study. Data analysis identified four major themes. These are as follows: women and students in partnership; the student was for me; making a difference, and the system. Women were very satisfied with the Bachelor of Midwifery student Follow Through Journey Program because the outcome for them was an empowering pregnancy, birth and early parenting experience.
