that sounds like a plan! as my MW is at Waitakere hospital so probably best not to change.

bext1 I birthed at Waitakere and then transfered to Helensville, so that is an option. Luckily for me that I was booked in at Helensville as they had no beds at Waitakere! I stayed in the Birthing Suite until I transfered]]> Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:02:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=853641&title=helensville-birthing-unit#853641 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=853634&title=helensville-birthing-unit#853634 Author: bext1

this is an interesting topic for me, as trying to decide if I go there or waitakere, i think Helensville is closer, and as the other's say, I have heard great things about it from people i know that went there, most recent was September ]]> Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:57:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=853634&title=helensville-birthing-unit#853634 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852908&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852908 Author: myfullhouse

I went there for my post natal stay. The mws were lovely, it was wonderful having my own room and it was heaps bigger than the hospital rooms so that was alot easier when family visited. I didn't mind being there by myself quite a bit (DH was busy looking after Jack and by chance his parents flew in the day I gave birth!), there is a tv in each room and the privacy is great so you can do what you like whenever you like. They only take a max of 3 Mums at a time so the mw/mum ratio is great and you get alot faster assistance at night if needed. Would definately go back if we have #3]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:39:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852908&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852908 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852905&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852905 Author: mybeautiful3

Hi Skrippy,
I recently visited there as part of my Doula Certification course- i need to review birthing facilities available & i was delighted to see whats available.

The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful - all the staff I met with were very friendly & went out of their way to help me. Nothing at all like the hustle & bustle of a maternity ward at a hospital & you can be guaranteed to get hands-on-help around the clock if needed!

Wishing you all the best for a joyful birth! :)]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:38:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852905&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852905 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852796&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852796 Author: jano1

I didn't birth there (was also planning on it as we were moving out here but bubs had other plans) but have only heard positive things from friends that have birthed there. Small rooms, great staff and a good staff/patient ratio. Good luck ]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:30:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852796&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852796 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852177&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852177 Author: xLUCKYx

I was thinking about birtthing there but went to parnell instead just because it is closer but I heard lovely things about it! ]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:49:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852177&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852177 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852144&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852144 Author: Skrip

Hi I would be interested to hear anyones experiences of birthing/postnatal stay at Helensville BU as that is where I plan to deliver my baby in 7 weeks.

Thanks!]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:20:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30156&PID=852144&title=helensville-birthing-unit#852144
