I third that for Halswell Village! I had Vicki and she was awesome! I could contact her whenever and she would always be very prompt to respond. No question was a silly question. I was recommended her by a friend of mine and so glad we went with her! Will definitely be using her for #2. ]]> Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:22:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32324&PID=998704&title=midwife-in-christchurch#998704 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32324&PID=998474&title=midwife-in-christchurch#998474 Author: YODA18-

Congratulations Georgie!!!   I'll have to congratulate your mum too when I see her next!
I really mean what I say about her. She has been awesome with me especially with my little "freak out" moments ]]> Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:27:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32324&PID=997467&title=midwife-in-christchurch#997467 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32324&PID=997292&title=midwife-in-christchurch#997292 Author: GeorgieK

I think she is great too since she is my mum! I would have her as my midwife any day but I live to far away now.

I don't know what a FF rate is but I have had two births with them and no c sections. All my friends have birthed with them and no c sections so who would know.

I loved my MW and the back up and would not give birth with any one else. Theya re kind and caring but tough when they have to be. I never had meds the whole time I was preg with both kids but developed PE with my first and was fully supported with this. My MW was amazing and helped me no end. I birthed with my backup for my 2nd baby and was even more impressed.

Edited to add; If you mean FF then they may have a higher rate cos they support the mother in what ever she chooses to do. I FF from birth. My decision based on numerous factors. I was pleased to find a MW that educated and then supported me in my decision. Each to their own and I loved the fact that my MW supported my decision.

It depends what you are looking for, I found the midwives at barrington fantastic, they are more likely to recommend a natural (not necessarily homeopathic) remedy rather than throwing medications at you.

Don't know much about merivale midwives, I guess it depends what circles your in, but what I have heard about them is they have a high CS rate and high FF rate. That's not necessarily a bad thing, again depends what you are wanting?

Hi,
I am moving to Christchurch next month and am 8 weeks pregnant with my third baby.
Can anyone recommend a great midwife or give me feedback on Robyn Little a midwife at Merivale Midwifes. I left a message and she called back saying she could take me on but I have never heard of her. I would really appreciate some help.]]> Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:34:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32324&PID=970910&title=midwife-in-christchurch#970910
