Congratulations! Unless you have something particular you want (like a home birth), I thinkt he most important thing is that you trust the midwife and can get on well with them. So have a chat about your ideas about birth etc, and see how you click. In my case, I'm very middle-of-the-road; keen on as natural a birth as possible, but not against medical intervention if necessary, so most any midwife would have suited, it came down more to who I trusted and liked. (I'm with Kirstin Rouse, if she's on your list).

Don't worry about the birthing center too much at this point. I think most good Hamilton midwives can do both birthing centers and the hospital, even if they're based at one or the other. Check it, but I wouldn't let it be the deciding factor for me. I had both my babies in Riverridge, but Waterford looks nice too. ]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:17:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43076&PID=5827468&title=just-found-out-im-preggas-in-hamilton-advice#5827468 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43076&PID=5827453&title=just-found-out-im-preggas-in-hamilton-advice#5827453 Author: waikatochic

Hi Everyone. We just found out a week ago that we are finally pregnant (after 2 years!). Now need to book in a midwife etc. Our GP recommended a few but before I go ahead and book them is there anything I should ask specifically or look in to? This is all a bit over my head at this stage and we are the type to be very particular. I did a quick read on google which just raised a whole bunch of questions! Should we worry about which birthing center the midwife is associated with or are they all pretty good? Any general advice please? would be much appreciated. ]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2013 09:54:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43076&PID=5827453&title=just-found-out-im-preggas-in-hamilton-advice#5827453
