Sorry I know this has been asked a thousand times before me lol but has anyone got any good recommendations for a CHCH midwife? I'm in Southshore so preferably someone close. I'm hoping for a VBAC so someone with a wealth of experience would be good. Although I guess with the midwife shortage I can't afford to be picky lol.
Town's ok might have to give her a try. LOL KA isn't it funny I was always so sure I'd have another c/section but to be honest I'm not sure they would give it to me any way since my last was an elective. I guess I'll just see how we go :) The recovery would be much easier.
thats for darn sure.. ! i was adament I wouldnt have a natural and as it turned out i wouldnt have been able to anyway but i got damn close.. and the recovery with just one toddler was awful..two would be awful!:)
Congrats Lisa My midwife was Kay Shaw and although I found her via the Midwifery Resource Centre in Manchester St, I had alot of my appointments with her at Burwood Hospital, so maybe she would be an option. She's with Midwifery Associates. Absolutely lovely lady.
Congratulations! I haven't spent a lot of time with my new midwife however she is younger and seems lovely . A friend who had a good natural birth recommended her.
She does home visits rather than clinic appointments which is helpful, however you do need to go and visit her back up a couple of times towards the end who is in Barrington, which would be a bit of a trek for you.
However if you wanted to give her a call her name is Lysandra Thomas from Pregnancy Matters.
Midwives on Barrington, which use the same rooms as Pregnancy matters. They do home visits if you ask them to, I am sure they would be happy especially with two toddlers I can recommend Jo and Kelly had both and they are brilliant. Prefer Kelly though.
Actually Merivale midwives is who I used last time :( They were lovely ladies but I wasn't happy with the level of care. I felt they took on too many women. Perhaps it was because I was having twins and an elective c/section but I didn't feel they were all that involved.
