There is Kapiti Midwifes who a friend of mine used and she was happy with them. I wish I had of gone with them now as I'm unhappy with who I'm with. Not the midwifes just the horrid location and premises.

I've got 1 week & 4 days until my 12 week scan It's been hell waiting! Has anyone else got the 12 week scan booked in or have had it already?

Lurking...

I've heard really great things about Barton! And Howard is great value. I think he's hilarious!!! He also delivered me (I'm 25) and he happened to deliver Ashlee 2 years ago too so I thought that was pretty cool. I remember telling him in the OR that he delivered me and he joked and said 'that's it, I need to retire' and went to take off his gloves and leave hahaha! Him and DH talked rugby I think while performing my c-section!]]> Sun, 21 Sep 2008 19:56:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20848&PID=496213&title=wellington-babys-due-march-may-2008#496213 <![CDATA[Wellington Baby’s due March - May 2008 : I&#039;ve had Howard and didn&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20848&PID=496187&title=wellington-babys-due-march-may-2008#496187 Author: Emmecat

I've had Howard and didn't like him at all.  He had a pretty harsh bedside manner, although that was 8-9 years ago so perhaps he has mellowed a bit now?

Just goes to show how different we all are in our needs with our LMC!

My mw is in J'ville although I might try to find someone in Tawa...anyone have any recommendations for mw's out that way?

im with Howard. he is crude vial and disgusting so you either love him or hate him. i think he's great. he delivered me when he was a reg which is a bit scary but was also my sisters specialist and delivered her 2 kids. he found heaps of problems with me and my sis that had gone undiagnosed even though i had exploratory surgery. and i get scans every 2 weeks which i love! lol]]> Sun, 21 Sep 2008 18:41:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20848&PID=496158&title=wellington-babys-due-march-may-2008#496158 <![CDATA[Wellington Baby’s due March - May 2008 : Who are you seeing at Boulcott...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20848&PID=496129&title=wellington-babys-due-march-may-2008#496129 Author: Spirals

Hiya,

I am in Welly too and having my first baby late May. Just found out (officially) the other day, so yippee.

Bummer about the MW shortage. We don't know where to start to find someone. Niether of us are from Welly, so we don't even have any recommendations.

Does anyone have advice on where to start, or should we just start working down the list and take the first person who's free!

I'm in and from the Hutt but will be moving out Tawa way soon.  I didn't have any trouble getting a mw out that way although I haven't met mine yet so watch this space lol. There seemed to be lots though?

I think my ms might have just started today. I was hoping to not get any this time around but am taking it as a great sign of a sticky bubba!

I got a midwife easily but then again I'm out in porirua/whitby area - there seems to be heaps out this way. I met with my midwife on Friday and she was lovely but what a sh*thole (excuse my language!) of a area it's in! I felt like crying as I was driving there.

Yep, I get constant headaches too and also feel really dizzy and tired. I've had 24 hours of not feeling nausea which feels weird!

I'm just over 9 weeks now and I'm sure you are all like me and can't wait to get over 12 weeks!

I can't wait to start showing as it will make it more real to us. We are still in la la land over it. Does anyone else feel like it's just not real?? ]]> Mon, 15 Sep 2008 10:54:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20848&PID=491113&title=wellington-babys-due-march-may-2008#491113 <![CDATA[Wellington Baby’s due March - May 2008 : Hi!

Oh and I have an obstetrician. I rang a few midwives but couldn't get anyone (before I was even 4 weeks preg!) so just decided to go with an Ob who is a friend of a friend so I could get in there

Hi Kelly.
Not sure if you mean 08 or 09?? But I'm 14 weeks and due the 12th March 09. This is our first baby too. I'm not fussy on food anymore. Any food is good. But I use to only eat marmite on toast for about 3 weeks.

Hi, just thought I'd get a forum going for wellingtonian mothers to be! I know no one in Wellington that's due to have a bub so would really love to get to know other mums locally and also swap tricks and tips.

I'm 32, coming up to 9 weeks in, roughly due 17th April 2009. First baby so we are excited but freaking out too!

Finding it hard to eat anything at the moment. The only foods that I feel like are white! Potatoes, pasta, rice & bread. Weird aye! Maybe it's the carbs and starch thing. Totally gone off meat except a dry quarter pounder - no cheese and no sauce. I'm meeting a friend in petone today for lunch so I'm sure it will be hot chips for lunch only! ha ha
