Thanks Apfel. That makes me think I might go for Linda's classes as I am 32.
Might still look at joining the eastern parent centre as it could be helpful as well.

I think it's becoming far more common for women aged 29-35 to become first time mums, my friend who had a baby at 26 said she was by far the youngest at her pregnancy swimming classes in cental Auckland and the other women looked at her like she was a child.

That's great! I'm hoping that we get a good coffee group going from the classes I'm going to. I don't know very many people at all in auckland so hoping having a baby might change that! :) We could even look at getting a little play group together through ohbaby!

Would be keen to meet up when our babies arrive - to keep our sanity when we are homebound! Looking forward to coffee groups and new mums groups

Can I say I has Christine and I would never have her again!
She was too caught up in talking about her personal life and other clients lifes at appointments. She would also repeat herself every appointment like she would forget what she had told me. Constantly pressuring me to have baby at birthcare. My partner hated her!
I wished that I listened to him and changed midwifes
I met judy she was sooo lovely. Think she has just finished uni but she would be someone I would possibly have. But never ever again Christine I think she takes on far too many people. She forgot I had an appointment with her once then made me wait an hour cause she mucked up another girls appointment.
Every time I texted her I would get a text back "whose this" and when I would call she would have that rude manner. For a first time mum I didn't feel that nice connection. More rude and just had a job to do. No passion

Hi Ab,
Sorry I do not know as I ended up going with Greenlane Medical centre - Sarah Izzard, so didn't contact Judy.
Apfel - do you know?
PS - I ended up booking the Howick antenatal classes with Linda as everyone seemed to go to those ones.

Well I think she's only just become fully qualified? As she was still studying when I saw her

Not sure. Doesn't phase me, I like her and if there's problems you go to an obstetrician at the hospital

DO NOT EVER SIGN UP WITH CHRISTINE BRADLEY, she is a mess, still stuck up on her husband who has left her she is more concerned about her marriage than her patience. She got me mixed up for someone else so many times, my whole pregnancy she said I was healthy only to find out I had preeclampsia and because that was untreated I now suffer from heart problems due to that going untreated during pregnancy, she even wrote my babys DOB on documents that she was born in the 80's. She need to retire, shes not all there. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND HER EVER!!! sign up with her at your own risk.

Wish I had googled her before letting her be my midwife. You're correct. I too should've listened to my partner as he hated her too, she always belittled him as if she hated all men for what her husband did to her! so unprofessional. She needs to be gone.
