Hi bubs and congrats.

A friend of mine lives in Chch and has a great MW. I will ask her her name and get back to you. ]]> Sat, 15 Feb 2014 14:06:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43893&PID=5861386&title=obstetricians-in-chch#5861386 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43893&PID=5861384&title=obstetricians-in-chch#5861384 Author: bubs2014

Thanks Tan. Yes, that is expensive, hmmm. I wasn't happy with my last midwife or birth, so that is why I was looking for alternatives. Maybe I just need to work to find a better midwife instead!]]> Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:48:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43893&PID=5861384&title=obstetricians-in-chch#5861384 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43893&PID=5861377&title=obstetricians-in-chch#5861377 Author: tan73

What are you looking for? I was under Sarah Wakeman for TTC and she was excellent. Initial consultation was $300ish, but I'm not sure what her obstetric charges are.

If you are looking for an obstetrician purely for your pregnancy, I contacted these people: http://coa.org.nz/ (Christchurch Obstetric Associates)

The charges were pretty steep - around $3000. Too much for us so we just stuck with the midwife. Basically, when I rang up and spoke with them, they offer all the same services you get with a midwife. When I asked them what were the added benefits, they said just the training and expertise. But as far as I'm concerned, midwives have excellent expertise, and training specifically for pregnancy and birth, so we weren't fussed.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, I hope it all goes well.]]> Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:10:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43893&PID=5861377&title=obstetricians-in-chch#5861377 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43893&PID=5861375&title=obstetricians-in-chch#5861375 Author: bubs2014

Hi,
Just wondering if there are any recommendations for private obs in Chch and what their charges are? And what services they offer?

Thanks :)]]> Sat, 15 Feb 2014 12:47:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43893&PID=5861375&title=obstetricians-in-chch#5861375
