Hi ladies
just wondering if anyone had recommendations for midwives on the North Shore. In particular, am deciding between Matty Van Oostrom and Kate Shepherd. Has anyone used either?? TIA  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I booked in with Lorraine from the Kate Sheppard Team this week, I've had two friends who have used & loved them!
It seems really good, they have a pregnancy consultant who meets with you & matches your personaility and view points to that of your midwife to make sure you get the best fit. The consultant is independent from the group, she was lovely, gave us LOADS of information about the next few months to come, went through all our options. She works with other midwives too. It was a relaxed and informed session. We ended up chosing the KS Team as they have an inhouse Obstetrician so it's easy to get things checked or looked into if necessary, that just gave me a bit of extra security [;)] Good luck with your decision. Seems like there are a few Matty fans in there which is great! |
