I have Heather LaDell as my LMC and Adrienne Mulqueen as my back-up MW. both are amazing!!! was in hospital for a couple of nights about mid pregnancy and they were fantastic. any questions i had were always answered and i never felt like they were stupid questions. were both always ontop of everything and they dont take on lots of ladies (about 2-4 a month each) so you can almost guarentee that they will be there for your birth. will be going back to them when we have a 2nd baby.
also if you go to Queen Mary, they have a MW list of all practicing MWs in the Dunedin/Mosgiel area. i think they also cover down to Balclutha....
have heard good things about Sally McNeil too from quite a few different people.

It is a great help :)
Great to hear these responses.....we are 3 months away from our first baby being due (just found out a month ago) and are very keen to find a midwife ASAP.
All this is very new to both myself and Mum-to-be so I want to assist her in every way I can.
