Hey everyone,
First timer to OB and being pregnant.
Was after any personal recommendations for a good midwife suited for a new young mum in the west auckland kumeu area. When do you need to get one by?
And any advice that you think would be handy.
Thanks mums

Hi. I can't recommend any good midwives in Auckland but there are numerous threads with recommendations if you do a search for midwives. I would get a midwife asap as they book up very quickly everywhere. Hope you have a good pregnancy.

I would highly recommend Anglea Scott at Baby on the Way midwifes off Lincoln Road. Her and the rest of the team are great.

Thanks, meeting with a couple next week, one from both helensville and lincoln. I am wondering if it is better to go them alone for the first meet or get the hubby to take a day off to come along? I don't want him to waste the day off if i have a scan coming up soon too and the meet isn't very exciting. Did you guys take yours with you?

I only took hubby along once I'd decided who I wanted to go with.

I took hubby with me when we went to choose the midwife. He knows me best and I trust his judgement, togehter we picked which one was best for me. It depends on you though, I needed someone who is very supportive and who would understand some medical issues I already had.

Hope you find the right one for you
