Your pregnancy is unique and we are here to provide information and support so that you can make the best decisions for yourself, your baby and your family during this rite of passage.
“We believe women who take responsibility for their own pregnancy and birth, and positively prepare for the adventure will have a more satisfying birth.”
In New Zealand you can choose an independant Midwife, Community Midwife, General Practitioner or private Obstetrician as your Lead Maternity Carer, and you can change your LMC during your pregnancy if you wish. Find a provider you trust.
