Do you have any friends with babies that could recommend one for you? It's so hard choosing otherwise as you don't know what they're going to be like in delivery ;) ]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2015 19:18:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44731&PID=5885250&title=finding-a-midwife#5885250 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44731&PID=5885223&title=finding-a-midwife#5885223 Author: Poppy01

first thing to figure out is where you want to give birth. not sure of the situation down there but in auckland, midwives work out of a particular maternity unit so that limits who you can go with. i then looked at their preferences eg hospital, water, home? you want someone that agrees with your method of birth, not pushing their preferred method. i then went on feel, went with the one i felt comfy with. your local doctor should be able to helpyou with a list of midwifes then search them online, they often have profiles you can read. remember you can always change if you're not happy with your first chioce.]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2015 12:20:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44731&PID=5885223&title=finding-a-midwife#5885223 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44731&PID=5885219&title=finding-a-midwife#5885219 Author: Nicole187899

Hi all,

In the process of finding a midwife. What questions should I be asking? This is my first pregnancy after a long time trying so finding a great midwife is important to me.

Do some of them travel? I live in Levin and work in Palmerston North...should I look for a midwife in palmy (which will be easier when I'm working, and I'm hoping to have baby there), or should I look for one closer to my house?

Your tips/advice would be greatly appreciated ]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2015 10:22:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44731&PID=5885219&title=finding-a-midwife#5885219
