well ladies i i met with my widwife on thursday and she was perfect - such a relief!!!

also had our anatomy scan on friday and am very excited to announce our little bundle will be a girl!

am with all of you on finding one sooner rather than later for next time though - will not be going through that stress again! ]]> Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:46:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=780629&title=midwives-booked-already#780629 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : I was about 8 weeks when I got...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=779285&title=midwives-booked-already#779285 Author: Ant

I was about 8 weeks when I got my MW, and had to phone quite a few to get them (Birthcare team) since I'm due in December.

I'm really glad I didn't follow the advice in the booklet the doctor gave me which said to contact a MW around 12-14 weeks, it was well stressful enough as it was! Next time I'll be contacting them as soon as I know.]]> Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:08:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=779285&title=midwives-booked-already#779285 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : When I went to doc at 4 weeks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=778245&title=midwives-booked-already#778245 Author: myonlineself

When I went to doc at 4 weeks pregnant to confirm my positive - I got told, oh at around 12-14 weeks you'll need to find a midwife! Luckily I came on here and got told otherwise - being due next Christmas especially! So sorted a MW at around 5 weeks. ]]> Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:47:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=778245&title=midwives-booked-already#778245 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : I&#039;m 5 weeks and managed to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=775467&title=midwives-booked-already#775467 Author: SammyA

I booked my mw at about 5-6 weeks, I thought it was a bit early then but because I'm due mid January I wasn't sure how many would be on holiday or taking a break. My mw said it was good that I booked when I did, there are mw's in her practice that will be away so it was good advice from OB to book early!]]> Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:25:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=773879&title=midwives-booked-already#773879 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : I guess I got lucky because I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=773784&title=midwives-booked-already#773784 Author: LMSunshine

I called my midwife just before the 4 week mark as I really wanted to make sure I got her again and she books up really fast. I even emailed her when we started talking about not even trying for number two to see if she would still take me on as we had moved and I wasn't sure of her catchment area.

The first time the doc gave me her number and told me to ring the instant i left the surgery as it is hard to get one, just aswell she did as we are from ireland so had absolutly no idea what we were supposed to do!!!!]]> Fri, 11 Sep 2009 08:04:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=771982&title=midwives-booked-already#771982 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : I called my MW at about 6 weeks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=771789&title=midwives-booked-already#771789 Author: monkey33

I called my MW at about 6 weeks and was really nervous that she would tell me that I was a bit eager and to come back later! But she had to call me back to see if she could even fit me in! There must be such a shortage of MWs in Auckland (and by the sounds of it, everywhere in NZ!)

I am sure you will find a MW though if you call around and that it wasn't something you said to this one ]]> Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:54:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=771789&title=midwives-booked-already#771789 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : i had rung booked my midwife with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=770233&title=midwives-booked-already#770233 Author: rorylex

i had rung booked my midwife with in an hr after getting my 1st positive pregnancy test with this preg i was less than 4wks
pays to get on to finding a mw as soon as u know ur preg.
u can look around for midwives b4 ur preg and see who u like so u know who to call.
i got my list of midwives from my doc and an old friend of mine who i know is very picky recommended her midwife so she was the 1st i rang. she has been my midwife with all 3 of my boys and with this one.]]> Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:27:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=770233&title=midwives-booked-already#770233 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : Colee - can you use the team of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=769339&title=midwives-booked-already#769339 Author: Red

have since left my details with the midwife liason at waitakere hospital who said that it could take them up to 2 weeks... which is almost up! very stressful, am nearly half way there and still no luck!

Nope first time I was just over 4 weeks and got onto it straight away (went through Altair who referred me to KS). Second time I was about the same and went directly to my MW at KS who already had clients for that month.

It's partly to do with luck in terms of how far through the month your EDD is. My first was 3rd Jan so wasn't so bad but this one was 18th Nov and as I said already she was pretty booked.

Also I contacted the parent's centre at 5 weeks with my first to book in for AN classes and they only had a few spots left.]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:32:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758952&title=midwives-booked-already#758952 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : Nope not just you.

Wow. Thats pretty serious!

I hope I manage to find one - they're only seeing me end of next week to allocate someone.]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:59:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758596&title=midwives-booked-already#758596 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : was the same with me esp with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758591&title=midwives-booked-already#758591 Author: ElfsMum

Nah I rang earlier this week and had issues too, managed to secure someone though. I was surprised as well.]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:48:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758579&title=midwives-booked-already#758579 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : Thanks!

Thanks! I have an appointment at Kate Sheppard Midwifery to see a consultant late next week. Hopefully they'll have someone available - and someone I feel comfortable with.

I'm a bit nervous about it now!

Wondered if this was common or if I'd said the wrong thing. ]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:27:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758554&title=midwives-booked-already#758554 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : I started ringing on 4 weeks exactly,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758547&title=midwives-booked-already#758547 Author: Lexidore

I started ringing on 4 weeks exactly, I however was due in December so it still took me calling 6 different midwives before finding one. I'm surprised that they were all booked out already when you are calling before 5 weeks though... good luck for your search hun!]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:19:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758547&title=midwives-booked-already#758547 <![CDATA[Midwives booked already? : Had a brief chat with a midwifery...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758523&title=midwives-booked-already#758523 Author: AzzaNZ

Had a brief chat with a midwifery practice and then got a very nice email saying that they already had people due in the same month as me...

I'm due in May 2010 (less than 5 weeks pregnant).

Wow, I knew midwives were hard to find but thats pretty scary! I think maybe I just p*ssed her off

How far in advance did you book your midwife?]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:04:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28382&PID=758523&title=midwives-booked-already#758523
