High risk usually means Chch womens birth. In 32 & this is my 2nd (due early July). I got itp which is blood and platelete disorder with my first so am considered higher risk as had to have a csection so will be referred to obstetricians in the new yr for repeat csection & monitoring.
I had Maresse Mcevoy from Durham St midwives with #1 & she was great shes away when due nxt & we moved area so her partners wont come to us in Lincoln after the birth.
Am through Vanessa Oswell at Lincoln Maternity/Midwives this time after recomendations. Shes been great so far.]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2016 16:49:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45381&PID=5902510&title=midwife-suggestions-2017-christchurch#5902510 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45381&PID=5902400&title=midwife-suggestions-2017-christchurch#5902400 Author: Sophie218610

Unfortunately I don't think you will be able to have your bubs at St Georges as you are "high risk" :-( but if your delivery goes smoothly and they have room available, you can get transfered there hrs after bubs arrives. I was transferred before my son was even 2hrs old!

My midwife is Suze Ferris. She's been incredible so far (I'm almost 21 weeks). I used Elizabeth Clink for my first baby and wouldn't recommend her, she was no support and left me and my OH to labour alone until I said I could feel baby coming, then had to press the buzzer to get her to come running into the room (pretty much the only time she was in the room).]]> Tue, 20 Dec 2016 11:23:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45381&PID=5902400&title=midwife-suggestions-2017-christchurch#5902400 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45381&PID=5902303&title=midwife-suggestions-2017-christchurch#5902303 Author: Kristyl218504

Hi there,

I am around 4-5 weeks pregnant and due to having a blood disorder and having had a lot of operations for endometriosis I am considered high risk.

I am 31 and this is my first baby.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a really good midwife? I haven't my mother here so the support of someone a little more maternal probably would be nice.

I would like to give birth in St Georges Hospital in CHCH as I have heard good things.

Thanks for you help! ]]> Wed, 14 Dec 2016 11:21:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45381&PID=5902303&title=midwife-suggestions-2017-christchurch#5902303
