We are seeing Kathy O'Keefe. I have met her once but she seems really lovely.
I have spoken to her back up Tracey, and she was really nice too.

Hi Girls

I went to Altair and also saw a midwife at Maternity Associates, but we have gone with the recommendation from Altair and had our first appointment at kate Shepherd today. I was very impressed and happy with them.

Thanks for your help everyone

Hey ladies,

I'm not quite on the shore (West Harbour, so almost walking distance to the shore!) but I did grow up on the shore and am delivering at NSH (because my LMC is in devonport), so close enough eh?!

Paul Henderson is my docs backup, my sister's gyne and a friend whos a GP has worked with him too - and they all say he's brilliant.

I'm due tomorrow, so hopefully not much longer .....

An update on AN E - she has had her bub now. ]]> Sat, 23 Jun 2007 16:11:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8342&PID=165596&title=north-shore-mums-to-be#165596 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8342&PID=165446&title=north-shore-mums-to-be#165446 Author: Bobbie

Sally Belly are you doing parents center AN classes? If so maybe we'll be in the same one given you're due close to me and live close by.

I'll just scrape in here.... yep a Shore-girl (Bayswater) and about to pop at any moment!!!

I'm also with Kate Sheppard, and yep they work with Paul Henderson. If you need a specialist whilst you are in labour, there is always the one on duty at NSH if you haven't organised Paul as well. From memory I think he charges about $3k

Hint when packing your labour bag for NSH - put in a drink bottle. They have plenty of nice cold water, but they only have those silly little plastic cups to drink out of. You don't want your support person running in and out of the room to fetch you water all the time!!

Good luck to you all ]]> Tue, 19 Jun 2007 11:57:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8342&PID=163226&title=north-shore-mums-to-be#163226 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8342&PID=163151&title=north-shore-mums-to-be#163151 Author: sally belly

I too am with Kate Sheppard midwifery and my MW was telling me that they work with Dr Paul Henderson (not sure of the other specialist though).

Star - what I did initially when I first found out I was pregnant was called a place called Altaire (I don't think that's the right name but I will post it up later when I get home, with their ph number). It is basically a free 1 hour appt with a MW who outlines all your options for care then they find you a suitable MW. I certainly found that a lot easier than ringing around.
