I had Alison Wightman and she was fantastic. Very no nonsense, great with care and aftercare! She didn't deliver my baby though (as it was her night off!) but had her back up Lesley Gummer who is also totally awesome.

I would agree with what hannahbil has said.
Or try UH midwifes, maybe Edith McLeash.

You could try Birthworks, that's where my midwife is at. Depends what you're after, they are very pro-natural birth (they will deliver at either hospital or your home - I'm choosing to birth at home  )
Their office is in Taita and I've been there twice so far, but my next visit will be at my house the number is 802-0771 my midwife (Judy) is awesome!

Edith is amazing but won't do Lower Hutt unless you have previously delivered with her before. I think most of the rest of the group do do lower hutt though. Liz Hayes (from UH midwives) was good with ds. CAlled a spade a spade (if you like that kind of thing)

When I had DS i found it really hard to find a midwife (hopefully that's not the case now). What I did in the end was every time a MW couldn't take me I asked her for the names and phone numbers of every other MW that she knew. Hope that helps somewhat.

Yes it must be a busy time. Ive also found a few have been booked. Im in Upper Hutt though so have a UH midwife.
Good Luck!
You could try Birthworks and see if anyone else is available?
