I've seen this on another forum and thought it would be a good thread on OB. State the region you're in and the name of your MW, if you'd recommend them. It might help others choose a MW. Please DON'T mention the names of those you wouldn't recommend.

I'll start. I'm on Auckland's NS and I had Debbie Greenwood from Maternity Associates. She was wonderful, particularly with her post-natal care.

Michelle Vincent from Ngaio medical centre in Wellington (does Northern Suburbs). She is just fantastic! The whole time

TBH she was my 10th choice as I had NO idea about picking a midwife! But I am so glad I got her!!

Lots of experience and a hospital mw and an independent. Has 2 kids of her own...

My back up was Rachel McTavish, she was great to and her husband is a diabetes nurse. She was also my MIL midwife for her last baby (who is now 11) so lots of experience too!

Kim Porthouse from Otaki Midwifery, does any birth from home to palmy hospital and covers most of manawatu i believe...

only snag is she seems to always be running a lil late but then she will always spend extra time with you if she needs to/you need her to, our appointments are always over an hour
Me and two local cousins all love her tho

PALMERSTON NORTH - Megan Holloway from Heretaunga Midwifery. I couldn't have wished for a better midwife, and bonus, she trained as a nurse before changing to midwifery so has a lot of great knowledge and experience.

I honestly believe that if it weren't for her my birth would have turned out a whole lot different

WELLINGTON (northern - Jville to Karoriish areas)

Margaret Hadley, from Capital City Midwives. She is very onto it (very experienced, was a nurse before a MW) she can be quite blunt, but you know where you stand with her and she is more than capable. If I have my next baby here I will be looking at having her again.

Hutt Valley / Whitbyish area - Christine Griffiths. I can't rave about her enough she was just awesome. Has been a MW / nurse for over 20 yrs knows what she is doing and doesn't pressure you to do anything you don't want to do.

I have to recommend Bunny Cummings in West Auckland! =) I haven't had my baby yet but she's just been awesome the whole way through my pregnancy! Plus i've heard other mums talk about her and never anything bad!
