Hi ladies,
Can anyone recommend a good midwife in the Wellington area? I live in Johnsonville. Any great ones, or ones to avoid would be fabulous. Thanks!! |

Hi Laurie,
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I had someone called Annie Bennett who works for Dominos Midwives (based in Newtown). She was a really lovely and caring person. No hesitation in recommending her. As you are based in Johnsonville though you might want to look for someone in Tawa/Porirua area which is closer to your home. Hope you find someone suitable to your needs  ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

Hi I went to see Annie Bennett for my first appt and I couldn't stand her - she was judgemental about my intention to go back to work when the baby was 1! I am now with Sue Whitley who I absolutely recommend. Sue is based in Newtown. I have heard that Rachel McTavish in Johnsonville is good. Good luck in finding someone! I found that they didn't ring me back until I was about 10 weeks, which felt like a long time to wait... ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Wow DJ that really surprises me about Annie's comments? I have also heard that Sue Whitley is good. My sister used her as well as another friend of mine. I would have originally liked to have gone with her too but at the time she was fully booked - very popular lady! ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

I had Fiona Malthus also with Domino midwives and I lived in J'Ville at the time too. All the midwives I met at Domino's were lovely.... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have Rhonda Moore from Dominos and so far so good anyway.
Wellington Midwives seem to be in shortage so it pays to look sooner rather than later. I got mine at 6 weeks, it did take a week for Domino to reply to my message and another week for a midwife to get in contact. So they're initial contact isn't the best. |
