Try Diane Hirst. I used her for a pregnancy but not a birth (miscarried) - she was lovely though and I've heard good things about her from people who've delivered with her.
If you don't mind driving to Orewa then I would suggest Kathy Fray. She has written a series of books and is very good - I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and have been high risk due to IC and have found her to be really great. She is a bit of a hippie though... will have you on a load of herbs and doing hypobirthing by the end, I think thats nice though - rather than just pushing the medicated options because it makes like easier for them!
ooh - i worked alongside Kathy about a year ago as a Birth Doula...she is lovely!!! Also, Diane is amazing as well - such a calm beautiful person...hope you have managed to find a midwife :)
I HIGHLY recommend Shore Birth!!! Not only did they investigate my multiple miscarriages, but they found a reason, solved it and we had a baby! They are absolutley amazing and from what you have said about tryign for a while to have a baby, you might be like us and not mind spending a bit to have very specialist care.
I would also recommend Kate Sheppard Midwives - all of them are great and there is a fabulous obstrician Paul Henderson there if you need to do shared care.
Personally I think Midwives do a great job but after so many years waiting I felt I really wanted an Ob too!
