| I am with fiona mccrae, she works from the group at the palms. she is really lovely and I trust her completely. she was an registered nurse then became a midwife which makes me feel more secure in her medical knowledge and I also love how I can text her at anytime if I have a question. |

| Lexiloo - I've just been googling and have come across this great site - http://mamaternity.org.nz/find-a-midwife/. It gives a list of all the midwifes in the Manawatu area. |

| Jo Henwood was mine and she was awesome. Laid back but gets you everything you need and want(within reason lol). Very upfront which I like and always replied to any text I sent her really quickly |

Blondie doesn't do first time Mum's either so keep that in mind. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Can definitely recommend Megan Holloway, but get in quick as she does book up very fast! She is a registered nurse (also ex-Plunket and ICU nurse) so very knowledgable but also caring and patient with a first timer like me!
Best thing to do is check out the midwife availability list on the mamaternity website above then do some ringing around. GL and congrats!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| There are many fantastic midwifes in Palmerston North but can I say that you really need to ask alot of questions and be sure that they have the time for a new patient. I had a midwife with a great rep but after 32 weeks I had only seen her twice and her locum the rest of the time. Not good for a first time mum. Not at all the midwifes fault but its your time so enjoy it with a supportive midwife! |

Hi
I am looking for a midwife in Palmerston North. This is my first pregnancy and I would be under the category of mature. Am still a little shellshocked as I did not think children was on my agenda!! Thanks |

I am using Megan Holloway this time round and find her great. Explained things to me so much that I understand my pregnancy more this time than I did with my first.
The biggest thing is to be comfortable with who you choose. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Do you want someone who's older or younger?? Meaning would you feel comfortable with a younger person? I'm more mature  this time around & am using a mw younger than me, it's a bit weird as before I've always had mw's who have been well older than me. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
