Hi all

Im a first time mum, and will be moving to NZ Wellington from South Africa.

The move is very spur-of-the-moment, and I am in a total panic.

I have no idea where to start with birthing options there as I'm arriving so late. I literally fly on the last day I'm medically allowed to do so.

I was going to have an elective C-section here in SA, but I believe I will have to have a natural birth there... I've tried to google to find where we could be looked after and so many places are totally booked up for her due date month.

I just don't know where to start...

Can anyone help guide me to find out what my options are and who I could get in touch with?
