I had Victoria Panteleeva at Birth Options. Found her awesome!

Can't remember if she covers Porirua. But Birth Options have great midwives anyway.

I'm near to Porirua and birthed at Kenepuru - I went with Cherie at Birth Options and liked her, also liked Kirsty (her back-up) - can't speak for others there though (there are at least two other midwives).

Good luck with finding a midwife Kirsty.]]> Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:16:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42522&PID=5814711&title=porirua-midwife-recommendations#5814711 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42522&PID=5814638&title=porirua-midwife-recommendations#5814638 Author: BabyFergsMum

Hey Kirsty,
I too came over from England but luckily I have a really nice doctor who helped me out with things. I got a list of midwives from my docs receptionist. You may have to get in quick to try and get a midwife at late notice. My friend ended up with the Midwives at Keneperu hosital (like NHS midwives) she said they were a lovely bunch so don't panic if you can't find a particular one.
So you need to pick a Lead maternity Carer (LMC) this can be either a midwife or GP. COnsulatations with this person are free (dependent on residency status)
If you are new around the Porirua area you can PM me and we can meet for a hot chocolate if you like. I'm not hugely knowledgable about this yet as I ask my sister in law everything but if you want a good old English chat let me know. ]]> Wed, 26 Sep 2012 15:06:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42522&PID=5814638&title=porirua-midwife-recommendations#5814638 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42522&PID=5814622&title=porirua-midwife-recommendations#5814622 Author: lisame

I've gone to Sandy. Had 1 meeting with her and I just got such an amazing vibe from her, she seems v well trained. I have only heard good things about her. Book in quick though as she fills up fast.
Ok enough of the raving, you can ask for casual meetings with most midwives so that you can meet them 1st and not just go with the 1st one on the list.
There aren't enough midwives in Welly so don't leave it too long. Good luck hope you find someone that suits you.]]> Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:19:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42522&PID=5812023&title=porirua-midwife-recommendations#5812023 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42522&PID=5811969&title=porirua-midwife-recommendations#5811969 Author: hardingbubba

Hi all

This is my first pregnancy and I have no idea where to start in terms of finding a midwife. Is there anyone that can recommend a midwife in porirua, Wellington?? I have read a few good things about sandy woodhouse but not sure?

Can anyone help? ]]> Sat, 01 Sep 2012 16:19:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42522&PID=5811969&title=porirua-midwife-recommendations#5811969
