I had my first at Waikato I really wanted to birth at River Ridge but due to me having high thyroid levels it was safer for me to have the baby at Waikato.

Im hoping I can have #2 at RR..I will ask my MW if I can get bloods done for my thyroid early on in my pregnancy and hopefully monitor my levels more closely.]]> Sun, 01 Mar 2009 21:54:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=625993&title=hospital#625993 <![CDATA[HOSPITAL : Ill be going to middlemore aswell....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=625865&title=hospital#625865 Author: HuntersMama

When picking a hospital you need to make sure it is not to far as when pg, believe me you don't want to be in a car in labour, not fun.
Also where your m/w can deliver, or if you are using a hospital m/w & you are out of area you will need to arrange follow up care with another m/w.

If you have a straight forward pg then you will pretty much be able to plan it the way you want, if you are high risk then the hospital will plan what is best for you & baby. ]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:41:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=623826&title=hospital#623826 <![CDATA[HOSPITAL : With that in mind though, if you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=623780&title=hospital#623780 Author: HippyMama

Oxy I don't think you HAVE to go to any certain hospital. You can travel 2 hours to the hospital if thats what you want. Just got to make sure you get there on time otherwise you might have a funny story to tell about giving birth in the front seat of your car.
But for me, I will be travelling between 45 minutes and an hour, depending which hospital I choose.]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:20:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=623739&title=hospital#623739 <![CDATA[HOSPITAL : Yes - you go to the hospital closest...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=623656&title=hospital#623656 Author: HippyMama

Well it would be Auckland Hospital for me, my last 2 were delivered there. I was under the high risk team so I would not be able to have a home birth & going on my labours I feel more comfortable in hospital.

Oxy23, sorry but National Womens Hospital closed down, it only has the Greenlane Clinic centre there now. That is why my last to were at AK, my 1st was at NWH, & I worked there, lol. ]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:40:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=623545&title=hospital#623545 <![CDATA[HOSPITAL : I think some of the south akl...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=621466&title=hospital#621466 Author: Bobbie

I think some of the south akl mw's are signed to the birthing units.

If they're the ones I'm thinking of they don't have an anaesthetist so you won't be able to get an epi - just so you know. But my friend birthed there are loved it and my sis is also birthing there.

Morning

I just found out that National Womens has a birthing unit and you can get you baby delieved there as long as you MW has an access agreement to deliver there

What is an access agreement?

I would love to give birth at national womens when I get pregnant and my Partner agrees ]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:30:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=621391&title=hospital#621391 <![CDATA[HOSPITAL : I&#039;m going to Taranaki Base...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=621162&title=hospital#621162 Author: minik8e

I agree with AmStaff09 - there are more options out there than just going straight to hospital, and even if that's what you feel most comfortable with in the end, it won't hurt to consider the others.

Well, I have heaps to choose from. Tokoroa, Waikato, Rotorua, Tauranga, Matamata, plus in between all these there are birthing centres I can go to.
I guess I'm lucky in that DP doesn't work as such so is always around to rush me off to any hospital I desire.

Have you been to look around Middlemore? Chat to the nurses, etc. Is there a birhting centre in Auckland that you could go to? What about a home birth? There are lots of other options if Middlemore isn't your cup of tea. You need to feel comfortable wherever you go.]]> Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:00:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=620829&title=hospital#620829 <![CDATA[HOSPITAL : Hi everyone When we all get...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24750&PID=620740&title=hospital#620740 Author: Oxy
