If you’re about to begin your midwifery degree this September, first of all, congratulations! I know what a big achievement it is to get this far. Whether you're feeling excited, nervous, or somewhere in between, having the right tools by your side can make a big difference.
In my Student Midwife Shop, you’ll find practical, joyful, and meaningful stationery designed just for student midwives - all covered in original artwork celebrating pregnancy, birth, and the incredible work you're about to do.
Here are some of the most-loved products to get your journey off to a strong start:

A big, beautiful academic year wall planner to help you keep track of deadlines, placements, and self-care. It comes with a set of planner stickers, so you can make it your own.
Undated planner notebook (13 months)
Start whenever you’re ready. This undated student midwife planner notebook gives you the flexibility to begin at the start of your course or wait until placement begins. It includes 13 monthly spreads, space for goals, reflections, and anything else you need to keep organised and inspired.
Birth counter planner stickers
A gentle way to keep track of your births and experiences along the way - pop these into your diary, wall calendar, or notebook. They're practical and surprisingly motivating.

Student midwife notebooks
Available in A6, A5, and A4 sizes, these notebooks are perfect for placement notes, reflections, study plans, or scribbles in a hurry. Choose the size that fits your bag or desk best - all printed with my colourful original designs to make everyday study feel a little more special.
Pens and pencil cases

Student midwife wash bags
Durable and waterproof, my zip-up wash bags are perfect for carrying your essentials on long shifts, overnight placements, or study weekends away. A student midwife favourite, and printed with my original birthy artwork in the UK.
Handmade dilation beads
A set of crystal dilation beads with eco-acrylic charms showing each centimetre from 1 to 10 - handmade, beautiful, and meaningful. These are a tactile way to teach, learn, or explain dilation during antenatal education, and a unique gift for a midwife to be.
Hardback birth record book
A beautifully bound log to record every birth you attend during training. With space for details, reflections, and signatures, this becomes more than a requirement – it becomes part of your story.
Everything is designed by me – a mother and artist with a deep love for birth, midwifery, and the people doing this work. My shop is here to support you with practical tools that feel personal, powerful, and proud to use.
If you’re just starting out this September, I’m cheering you on. And if you’ve already begun your training, it’s never too late to treat yourself to something that will brighten your day and remind you of why you’re here.
