a thumbs down to bunny and lolly from me, loved them at first but then they treated me like crap and i would never use them again. They only like dealing with normal pregnancies so if you have any complications or health problems steer clear.

You can always use a hospital midwife the ones at waitakere are all wonderful.]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2011 09:50:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1297195&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1297195 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1293936&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1293936 Author: TheKelly

If you havnt found someone yet, Linda Norman is fantastic! Her clinic is just down from BP in glendene on that rd that goes down to Westcity



She reffered me to Waitak Hosp and ultrasounds etc for cervical check after multiple punch biopses so knows what shes doing when it comes to that

Goodluck!]]> Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:54:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1289740&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1289740 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1277440&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1277440 Author: nicci

I used The Midwives.. I had Terri Jones, but Glenda actually had to deliver my early baby (Terri was on holiday)! And Glenda was great.

I also have Bunny Cummings and again I changed to her from a different MW with DS who I really wasn't terribly happy with. I can't recommend Bunny enough and I've also dealt with her back up Lolly Freeman after having DS who is also fantastic. Do get in quick though, MW's book up so quickly and these two seem to be in popular demand

All the very best!!]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:47:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1274210&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1274210 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1274208&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1274208 Author: peachy

I am with Debbie Ross, she is based in Henderson. She was awesome for the birth of my DD. I can give you her mobile number if you like?

Bunny Cummings is also very good, she was my backup m/w, but gets booked up extremely quickly!]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:46:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1274208&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1274208 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1274195&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1274195 Author: blondy

The best way is to meet with them and get a feel for yourself. I had Angela as my MW based on recommendation from someone else, she was great for the delivery not so great for post natal support that I felt I needed.

Don't know Kate, where abouts in West Auckland are you? ]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:14:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1274188&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1274188 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1274180&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1274180 Author: seysey

Hi,

I'm a long time lurker, second time poster , and Im looking for some advice on midwives in West Auckland... I was booked with Gail Kiss and she has unfortunately been diagnosed with an illness and is taking 12months sick leave so I am looking for a new midwife. I have been refered to Kate Hepburn Brown and also have spoken to Angela Scott. Does anyone have any experience with these midwives or have any advice? I am 10 weeks... so still quite new to all this! Thank you so much in advance... ]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:53:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38140&PID=1274180&title=west-auckland-midwife-help#1274180
