Anyone in Wellington know a midwife who is really good at dealing with women that have/had depression and PTSD related to previous pregnancies/births? I know someone who is traumatised by her previous experiences with hospitals/births and she is 6 weeks pregnant with her third baby (VERY unplanned).

At this stage she is unsure about whether she wants to keep the baby or terminate, because of the mental health issues last time.

I had a fantastic midwife for my second pregnancy and I still had pnd from my first child. She was very understanding and patient- she said I could call her anytime day or night- she really was great!
Her name is Wanni Tam- she is with the group of midwifes that have their rooms above the Johnsoville Medical Centre in Broderick Road, Johnsonville.
