How did you manage to eat during labour  I couldn't eat anything all day even before I was having contractions.

Ha! who said I got to eat ?
nay , i had the most selfish support people in the world, THEY decided they felt like mc chicken burgers.
And to make matters worse, they actually went IN , didnt even have the decency to go through drive thru ...while I laboured in the car , yelling things that no person should ever have to hear.
...Am very sorry to the family that walked past with two young kids just as I was in the midst of a strong contraction ...

Congrats 
Personally I would go the closer option, but that's me. My mw was Linda Norman from Maternity Matters which is right next to Waitakere Hospital. She is so lovely, I would recommend her anytime. You could always meet other midwives and see if you click with them?

I won't mention my speed delivery then.... the hospital is 10 mins from home here and that still terrifies me.
Good luck Lilfatty! I wish I had either of my MW's from Auckland here!!!

I  my midwife! Altho I guess she isn't my midwife any more since lil miss is my last baby 
Seriously tho, I was living in Avondale when I first got preg with the gremlins and I drove all the way over to GI for appointments coz I wouldn't trust anyone else to deliver my babies. And she was a legend when lil miss had the cord round her neck, had she not been so quick to act I hate to think what might have happened as it was strangling her and cutting off her oxygen supply with every contraction and she couldn't be born till it was cut.

I wasn't allowed to eat from when they started the syntocinin at 8 till the baby was born - then eating was the last thing on my mind.
I vote stay with the midwife. And if you do need to get there in a hurry, there's bus lanes all along the motorway - you might get away with it
But I ditto the Maternity Matters MWs - they were fab
